@jburnmurdoch @t0nyyates I think that one model we are likely to see is institutional servers, as the German gov't has already set up. Running a Mastodon instance on corporate iron, along with the webserver and SMTP. The FT might well run one for all its journalists.

The German Data Commissioner is advocating that all public bodies should leave Facebook (and presumably Twitter) and use open platforms instead.

Various German bodies and authorities have already created their own Mastodon servers, as have many EU agencies and the Commission.

The European Network (@[email protected])

Germany’s data protection commissioner Ulrich Kelber is waging a campaign to get government bodies to close their Facebook pages, since, he says, there is no way of hosting a page there that conforms to European privacy laws. Authorities should move to the federal government’s own Mastodon instance, he says. The European Commission also maintains a server for European Union bodies to toot from. https://www.euractiv.com/section/media/news/mastodon-what-is-the-social-network-hailed-as-a-twitter-alternative/ #Germany #Mastodon #Facebook #UlrichKelber #BfDI

@t0nyyates @ejoftheweb @jburnmurdoch That European Network post has a link with a bigger story about Masto that also mentions this.

As for authorities on the Fediverse:
German authorities are here: https://social.bund.de/about

And EU here: https://social.network.europa.eu/about

social.bund.de

Dies ist der Mastodon-Server der Bundesbeauftragten für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit (BfDI).

@lennardvanotterloo @ejoftheweb @jburnmurdoch @t0nyyates ben oui, ils ont tout à fait raison. Les services publics n'ont rien à faire sur des réseaux privés, controlés par des acteurs privés
