An open declaration: The European Social Stack. Open Social Platforms and Private Messaging
juni 1 - juli 31
Social media’s impact on society and citizens clearly shows the need for change.
Europe has a strong ecosystem of social companies and a deep well of expertise in designing and operating social protocols. Europe is building on this to move away from large monopolistic platforms with their authoritarian governance and editorial positions, and are joining forces to establish a diverse and resilient information infrastructure. Together, Europe will protect people and institutions from interference by these platforms. What’s more, Europe will bring thousands of jobs and billions of euros that social media generates to our continent, to circulate that revenue in our own thriving business ecosystem. From this perspective, open European platforms and protocols such as the Fediverse (Mastodon, PeerTube, or Mobilizon), the Atmosphere (Eurosky, Flashes, Tangled, or Web Tiles) and Private Messaging systems (like Matrix or XMPP) are complementary solutions for Europe, with shared common goals. Add your name and join 64 organisations and 430 individuals, all submissions are reviewed by an editor before appearing on the public list.
