states hosting their own bastions of their own citizen's speech is such a vast moral cause. these sites need to provide some attestable proof, signed http exchange vouchers for content, hosted on state sponsored sights OR upon feeds of their citizens. but any measure states take today: any of it is vastly more prp-democratic, pro-value based than the fat load of nothing we've gotten up to. this os such a basic & essential first baby step to governments doing anything useful in the new world.

The instance is not for citizens of the EU.
EU Voice provides EU institutions, bodies and agencies with privacy-friendly microblogging accounts that they typically use for the purposes of press and public relations activities.

i don't know why the responses to your comments are acting like yours is off topic. this article is clearly showing the possibility of sovereigns running their own social media networks to the benefit of their citizens and i'd agree this is very exciting and while it may turn out to have some free speech drawbacks down the road it sure does seem like a great way to disentangle discussion and communities from private profits as the primary motive.

Fantastic to see that you haven't read nor understood what this headline is about, and constructed a whole paragraph based on your misconception of one (1) headline on Hacker News.
Do better.

Ironically, you seem to have missed the point of their comment, which is only slightly tangential to the article and extremely interesting in the social media discussion at large. And then you tailored an entire paragraph to show off your narrow mindedness and lack of critical thinking ability. Stop trying so hard.
