Volt and GroenLinks first want a debate about the provincial social media race
According to Marloes Kramer-Hamminga from Volt, it is also a risk of X that it is from one owner, Elon Musk. All meta-social media channels are not from one owner, but of one company are strongly under the influence of one person: major shareholder Mark Zuckerberg.
Volt and GroenLinks wants the ownership situation of a social media channel to be taken into account in the choice of the province whether or not you want to sit on it. According to deputy Egbert van Dijk, the ownership situation was included in the analysis of the province.
Both opposition parties also want “the influence of addictive algorithms used by commercial platforms to retain users as long as possible” are included in the provincial assessment because “polarization is a revenue model” for social media channels such as X.
In addition to working more with Bluesky, the parties also find Mastodon a good option, because it is ‘open source’ and is not attached to one company or owner.
The debate on social media of the province is on 8 October
