Dear friends,
On 31 March, we will delete our Twitter/X accounts and all our META-based accounts, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. We have grown increasingly concerned about our dependence on "free" platforms wielded by Oligarchs who are increasingly unpredictable in how they use the responsibility and trust that users have given them.
It will be quite hard to cut all ties because our relationship with you on mainstream Social media is very dear to us.
But you know what they say: "If the service is free, you are the product". And we have decided to quit after observing the recent behaviour of CEO's of META and Twitter that is contrary to our company values, transparency, science-based and evidence-based free communication and information sharing.
You can follow us on the Europe-based secure message platform Threema, and the Social Platform "Fieldepi.eu" that Transmissible operates for the Field Epidemiology Community in Europe.
We hope and believe that the European Union will work on providing Social media platforms hosted and based in the EU, and based on the shared values that underline the EU Treaties.
Meanwhile, we remain available to all users, colleagues and friends via our email channels.
