  other: Communicate confidently and respectfully with citizens
hero_subtitle2:
  other: Public institutions (government agencies, broadcasters, educational institutions) predominantly use proprietary platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. The companies behind them can decide who communicates on their platforms and how. Furthermore, by prominently linking and using these services, public institutions advertise those services 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.

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.

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 their fellow citizens.
<br/><br/>
In this regard, social media are playing an increasingly important role. However, 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/>
With great concern, we have recently perceived statements by data protection officers who criticize that these networks do not adhere to legal requirements and that far-reaching regulations would be necessary to protect users in terms of data protection law.
<br/><br/>
Therefore, it is important that the Public Administration uses distributed Free Software services and strengthens such offers, instead of making citizens further dependent on large companies and their behavior. 
<br/><br/>
We would therefore be pleased if your authority also decides to make a contribution to this and in the future uses decentralized free software solutions, such as Mastodon, for communication with citizens.
<br/><br/>
Kind regards"
