"Public institutions are funded by taxpayers' money: their communications serve public interests and should be open to all - without the need of creating social media accounts on proprietary, for-profit closed systems. This is especially salient for European governmental communications: isn’t it absurd that they would require social media accounts owned and run by U.S. based companies?"

@fresseng thank you for sharing this Nicolas!

It's an argument I have pretty much everyday with people in my life who keep defending these practices because "everyone is on Facebook, it' so easy, blah blah blah."

Next January I will celebrate my 10 YEARS off of Facebook 🤗

Waow ! 👏 I must confess I completely forgot when I dumped Facebook. Might be around 10 years too. Never had Instagram. And dropped off my last Meta agent, WhatsApp, last year (April first !).

This latter was the toughest
