Twitter, CSAM, ukpol I know the situation with Twitter is abhorrent and the UK government should be facing questions about why they're still using it under the circumstances, but I keep seeing the idea floated that they should set up on the fediverse.

And while I don't disagree, I would fully anticipate them facing questions about why they've ditched one place with a CSAM problem for another.

Twitter, CSAM, ukpol While good servers do their best to defederate problem servers, an uncomfortable truth is that they do exist on the fediverse.

If you have a government server set up home here, unless it's got signed fetch and is strongly moderated it's not going to take long for a journalist to grab screenshots of government toots on some extremely unsavoury corners of the place.

Twitter, CSAM, ukpol @babe the Dutch government has an official instance (social.overheid.nl) which some organizations set up camp on, to which access is strictly moderated. From their instance home page (translation below):
4. Hoe vraag ik een account aan voor mijn organisatie?

Alleen overheidsorganisaties kunnen een account krijgen. Je organisatie moet vooral een publieke taak hebben en staan in het Register Overheidsorganisaties. Stuur een e-mail vanaf je werkadres naar mastodon@minbzk.nl. Vermeld in de e-mail:

- De naam van je organisatie;
- Waarom je een account wilt;
- Wie de contactpersoon is.
English (translated by me):
4. How do I request an account for my organization?

Only government organizations may get an account. Your organization needs to have, above all, a public task, and be registered in the Register of Government Organizations. Send an e-mail from your work address to <email>. Mention in this e-mail:

- The name of your organization;
- Why you want an account;
- Your contact person's name.
