Leander Lindahl 🇪🇺"We have been incredibly naïve in entrusting our democratic space to […] social networks, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."
Emmanuel Macron, President of France
snorker@leanderlindahl Sounds promising. In what context did he say this?
@snorker
It was on a state visit to Germany, October 3 2025
@snorker Unfortunately the Elysee didn't get the memo. But I still think it was really good that he said it. I was truly positively overwhelmed that it was said loud and clear by such a prominent figure.
I'm guessing he doesn't personally manage the web site.
@snorker The German Bundestag however got the memo 🤩 👍 🎉 Best in class, hands down, no competition.
Page footer of the German Bundestag web site. No links to X corp, the holocaust denying, CSAM producing social that wants the abolishment of the European Union.
Björn@leanderlindahl @snorker We have our own instance for the government and related:

I wish #Finland and the rest of the Nordics/Europe would learn too.
But I guess they prefer proprietary solutions so far..
