Another, unrelated, example of the shift in thinking in the Dutch government is about an unanimously adopted motion in the House of Representatives. Last week saw a major storm, and the fire department send out an emergency text warning to people, urging them to check Twitter for the latest updates. However, this coincided with Twitter preventing people who do not have accounts from viewing tweets, resulting in people not being able to see emergency service updates

I love how fast they are with this. Some random IT guy to his boss: Oh we can't use Twitter anymore, let me spin up a mastodon server real quick, no probs.

That. It was a big thing during the storm, and the fire departments weren’t all known with the Twitter policy changes and decided to ditch twitter ar all after that situation.

Need to thank Musk and Spez for pushing their users to the fediverse.
