The European Medicines Agency (EMA), which is the regulator for vaccines and medicine in the European Union (EU), has stopped using the social media platform X. The website is owned by Elon Musk, who is an important ally of the newly elected United States president Donald Trump.

Especially a government agency.
This isn’t about FOSS. This is about decentralization. You could make that argument on Reddit or Xitter. Not on Lemmy.
You’re being a pedant, all while missing the point.
