The Dutch government said Friday that it may be forced to stop using Facebook after a warning from the Netherlands’ privacy regulator about the Meta owned social media platform’s privacy risks.

The Dutch Data Protection Authority (DPA) issued a statement advising the Dutch Interior Ministry not to rely on Facebook pages to communicate with citizens if it doesn’t have a clear idea of how Facebook uses the personal data of people who visit government pages.

Good. Start your own Mastodon instance exclusively for government accounts, and let users subscribe to those accounts from other instances.

Bonus is that you get RSS feeds for every account on Mastodon.

The Dutch govt is way ahead of you on that one.
