European CommissionJun 17

A strong Europe needs independent digital spaces.

We believe true digital sovereignty thrives on a competitive, contestable, open ecosystem where diverse platforms co-exist.

Today, we’re expanding our presence to W, the new social media. By being on W, we want to boost alternatives and support all efforts toward a decentralised web.

And we continue to invest into our presence on the Fediverse!

@EUCommission It's kind of crazy that Mastodon never got this kind of promotion and endorsement, unlike this 4 month old platform that came out of nowhere.

@Gargron Mastodon is obviously not the kind of venture capital luring tech that the EU is salivating over @EUCommission

@EUCommission @Gargron @delafin Mastodon is not centrally controlled. That is the problem for the #EU. They want control, verification.

@Herman And they don't want Jack Dorsey to have it...?

@kaito02 They want the ability to control social media for themselves. If you control social media you control the political debate. When you control the political debate you control power. They apparently don’t trust grassroots communities such as on Mastodon.
