Dan GillmorThe BBC's experiment with Mastodon is pathbreaking in English-language news -- a major organization setting up its own instance. They've really thought this through. Key language:
"We're using social.bbc as the domain, so you can be sure these accounts are genuinely from the BBC. And by linking to and from the BBC’s website, we have verified our identity on Mastodon."

Debirdify@nomatic @FediFinder The real problem is that there is no pressure for services like Twitter to be interoperable, neither legal nor from their user base. Current doctrine dictates that walled gardens are the way to go, and that is unlikely to change without heavy regulation.
That said, I think it would be tricky to implement such regulation in such a way that it actually works, and without unintended side effects.
@debirdify @FediFinder Good point. Antitrust might be more applicable here.
My original thought was in regards to the right to data portability under Article 20 of GDPR. The executive summary of which says:
"It [Article 20] allows for data subjects [users] to receive the personal data that they have provided to a controller [e.g. Twitter], in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to transmit those data to another data controller [e.g. Mastodon]."
I'm migrating from Twitter, but the shutdown of Twitter API access for @debirdify and @FediFinder just seems like overt violations of #GDPR and related US data-ownership laws. Are there any class action lawsuits I can join for this?! 😅
