@edsaperia @edtparkes It bothers me that politicians use WhatsApp

I understand why they do but I'm concerned that WhatsApp is provided free by a powerful, for-profit organisation like Meta

In the short term at least govt folk should be using (and paying for) a service with more transparent objectives like @signalapp

And for the future, supporting the development of open source, distributed messaging systems like @matrix

Or something like that

@edsaperia @signalapp @edtparkes @matrix

Yes, but we shouldn’t be encouraging them

@markfoden @edsaperia @signalapp @edtparkes @matrix we should be actively discouraging them.
What's wrong with transparency & state Security Agency oversight to the confidential stuff.
#BrokenPolitics is short termist vote chasing with Mainstream media complicit.
Thankfully violent revolution would be a horrendous fail because "We are are democracy"

Yes a failing democracy lossing to Team Xi & decades long thoughtful policy with mass oppression.
Vote very many independent #CitozensAssemblies

@edsaperia @markfoden @matrix @signalapp @edtparkes

If a candidate standing on implementing #CitizensAssemblies decisions wins then what next?
Sure lots of ideas but what does the Centre for Democracy say if the contracted companies that "delivered" to the #ClimateAssembly in England and Scotland are not considered worth it because of what happened after?
