  other: Federated communication for public authorities
hero_subtitle:
  other: Communicate confidently and respectfully with citizens
hero_subtitle2:
  other: Public institutions (government agencies, broadcasters, educational institutions) predominantly use proprietary platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. The companies behind them have a lot of influence on who communicates on their platforms and how. Furthermore, through prominent linking and use of the services, public institutions advertise them and get citizens to use them.
hero_subtitle3:  
  We want to convince public authorities to rethink their use of social media. This is possible with the gradual transition to federated free software solutions.

section2_titles1_title:
  other: Sovereignty
section2_titles1_text:
  other: Digital sovereignty pursues the goal of enabling the independent and self-determined use and design of digital technologies by the state, the economy and individuals. Decentralized free software solutions, give all people and organizations the right to use, understand, distribute and improve them for any purpose. This is a cornerstone for our democracy in an increasingly digitalized society.
section2_titles2_title:
  other: Privacy
section2_titles2_text:
  other: Citizens should not be forced to pass on their data to large corporations in order to be able to communicate with public institutions. The public administration should support citizens in data protection and therefore also offer alternatives.
section2_titles3_title:
  other: Public funds
section2_titles3_text:
  other: When using taxpayers' money, care must be taken to ensure that it is used efficiently and effectively. The procurement, provision and use of free software solutions must therefore be the focus of digitization.
section2_titles4_title:
  other: Legal certainty
section2_titles4_text:
  other: The use of social networks by large, globally active digital corporations is difficult to reconcile with European data protection laws. As a public authority, it is necessary to ensure a legally compliant communication for citizens. In the area of social networks, public institutions and authorities must therefore also rely on federated free software solutions!

Subject: Use of social media in your authority
<br/><br/>
Dear Ms/Mr ...
<br/><br/>
We welcome the fact that your authority provides various communication channels to get in touch and exchange with its fellow citizens.
<br/><br/>
Social media are playing an increasingly important role here. But this is also accompanied by a number of pitfalls. These include, for example, the dependence on international IT corporations and their dominant position with regard to free access to communication platforms. This is also associated with the loss of digital sovereignty.
<br/><br/>
In the recent past, we have noted with great concern statements by data protection officers criticizing the fact that these networks do not comply with legal requirements and that data protection requirements are not observed. But these services must also be viewed critically in terms of self-determined use of technology.
<br/><br/>
Therefore, it is important that the public administration uses federated free software services and strengthens such offerings.
<br/><br/>
We would therefore welcome it if your authority also decides to contribute to this and uses decentralized free software solutions, such as Mastodon, to communicate with citizens in the future.
<br/><br/>
We stay at your disposal for any questions and look forward to hearing from you.
<br/><br/>
Kind regards"
