Actual statements of Israeli ministers, not just members of parliament. But most importantly, they were made in Hebrew, not English. In English you’ll hear a different story.
Amendment to the Public Sector Accessibility Regulations by @tink
"The UK Public Sector (Websites and Mobile Apps) Accessibility Regulations (PSAR) came into effect in 2018, following the approval of a 2016 Directive from the European Union (EU). In 2022, an amendment to the PSAR was released to address changes brought about by the UK's departure from the EU in 2020."
“What we found is that in regions of China where there is more unrest, that leads to greater government procurement of facial-recognition AI,” says Martin Beraja

@kkarhan@flokinet@protonmail Not gonna lie i am not an friend of Mental Outlaw, he might have good Videos but his persona is not really something i would like to know better.. still seems like a good Video.
There is no reason why in this day and age that municipal, state, provincial, and federal #government cannot stand up their own #fediverse instances that they control to provide their citizens relevant information. Whether that be #mastodon, #lemmy, #kbin, #peertube, #pixelfeed, or #whatever. Why should we have to rely on #meta (#facebook and #instagram) or #x (#twitter) #databrokers for publicly funded and public relevant information and communication.
While that may be technically true (debatable), it misses the point of why they do it the way they do. Simply trying to convey information as an authoritative source is more easily solved by an announcements section on the official site, or a blog.
They post to Twitter (etc) because that’s where the people are, and that’s where the people want to see it. If the people wanted to sign up for SMS alerts, they would do it (and some have). If the people wanted the alerts on Mastodon, or Lemmy, or even something like Discord, they would do it.
That said, there’s very little reason for each agency, or even each city, to stand up their own instance for what is certain to be a very small feed.
Start with the need/desire, then design a solution to meet it. What you have described is a very specific solution that’s looking for a problem.
Wie vind het ook grappig dat @beheerder een Mastodon is voor de #overheid? 😆
Ik vind het echt grappig dat de #fediverse een rage wordt, dat nu ook overheden allemaal op komen. Dit is een GOED voorbeeld hoe je accounts kunt verifieren. Ervoor zorgen dat de overheids accounts duidelijk van een overheids domein afkomen!
@Codixer I agree that this really is a good change with governments moving to their own Mastodon instances. Just followed a few accounts of my government. The domain makes it clear that it's owned by the government and that it's a trusted source. A very good alternative to the checkmark system which just became useless with everyone being able to purchase one. It might even be superior.
