What's to stop Musk, who's already tried meddling with German elections, from seizing Zelenskyy's, or any other European leader's X account, and posting something with dire geopolitical consequences? We're way past the point where it's wise for European leaders and institutions to rely on a presence on X—and other US platforms are not a good long-term solution either. More should follow the example of the @EUCommission and provide their updates directly, without middlemen, through the fediverse.
@Gargron @EUCommission Not just in Europe... US state and local governments, and agencies like fire, police and other emergency management, should all be sending communications through publicly owned and accessible channels.
@danafus @Gargron @EUCommission yeah yeah. We once had something similar, what was it's name? Oh, web page, that's it.
