The Netherlands' digital mininster said the government will be forced to stop using Facebook pages if it doesn't get clarity on its concerns from Meta.

The Dutch government said Friday that it may be forced to stop using Facebook after a warning from the Netherlands’ privacy regulator about the Meta owned social media platform’s privacy risks.

The Dutch Data Protection Authority (DPA) issued a statement advising the Dutch Interior Ministry not to rely on Facebook pages to communicate with citizens if it doesn’t have a clear idea of how Facebook uses the personal data of people who visit government pages.

      Free at the cost of user data being trashed out. DOST servers could host a Mastodon instance.
