The #DOJ had argued that #Doughty’s ruling was overly broad & could “chill” a wide range of lawful communications between the govt & #SocialMedia companies, especially in the face of #public #emergencies.…

Any #appeal of the order would bring the debate over #online #speech before #SCOTUS, which is already expected to take up conflicting appeals court rulings over state social media #laws this year.

I don’t have an emergency plan or a go bag. Until this year with all the fires and floods I guess I didn’t feel the need. This article has some good ideas on being prepared I hadn’t considered.

The #Twitter #Wildfire Watcher Who Tracks #California’s Blazes

When fire ignites, the race begins to alert the state’s residents of the path of destruction. One of the leading voices lives on the other side of the world.

Reuters: "Twitter is not the right place to seek information during an emergency, Dutch politicians and a prominent online group said on Wednesday, following an incident in which citizens were directed to the platform for updates during a large storm." #Twitter #Birdsite #Disasters #Emergencies https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/twitter-not-suited-emergency-communications-dutch-say-after-storm-2023-07-05/?utm_source=reddit.com

So now that #Twitter has pissed on its on chips as regards public services using it for instant messaging in #emergencies, what we may be about to see is a mass exploration of alternatives for such services.

Here's a link that suggests this wave of change which may be about to leave Twitter struggling could be starting in The Netherlands... where Amsterdam has its own #Mastodon instance.

Times they are a changing!

Today has been a more intense day. There have been many things to do, some emergencies to handle, and I managed to find time for a walk in nature, although it was late because I had to return immediately after stepping out due to one of the various emergencies of the day. Before dinner, I was still a bit rushed, but now I'm relaxed. It's important to enjoy the good moments in life when you can. #IntenseDay #Emergencies #NatureWalk #Relaxation #GoodMoments

It would be great if there was an instance only for public service announcement accounts. That way they could join the fediverse & we could know exactly where to go for crucial weather & disaster info. No one admin or CEO could cut them out on a whim.

#WeAreNotGoodAtThis

The #earthquake wasn't intense here.

I didn't do well reacting to it either. I actually didn't plan on exiting the building. Didn't think it was a big deal. I still don't. 🤷‍♀️ But maybe I should treat it like it's a big deal each and every time? Like fire #emergencies, no matter how small. 🤔

Earlier, from my apartment, I heard something over the PA 🔊. Couldn't make out what was said. The alarm supposedly sounded too. I didn't hear that one at all.

We're doomed. 😐

Thank you for receiving us so well, and for such engaging discussions!
RT @WHOatEU: This week #WHO hosted a @europarl_en delegation which attended the #WHA76 as special guests. MEPs met with @WHO’s DG @DrTedros & leadership team to discuss #PandemicAccord, #NCDs, Health #Emergencies, Environment, #AMR.
Thank you for your commitment & support for global health. https://t.co/eGmEa1maCN
