Can anyone help me? I want to make a freedom of information request into the decision of the government to take-down the page. I've never done this before.
I found a form online: https://www.sus.gov.on.ca/lc/content/mgcs/profiles/default.html?contentRoot=repository:///Applications/ON00089/1.0/Assets&template=ON00089E.xdp&submitUrl=https://localhost:12443/rest/services/ON00089/Processes/SubmitForm&lang=E&submitServiceProxy=https://www.sus.gov.on.ca/sub-proxy/all. Anything I should know before making the request?

Dear @potus, I am excited to see you joining the fediverse, but I question your decision to join Threads.

Please consider committing to by creating @potus this will allow you to reach all users as well as the millions on and more with just one account and without favoring a commercial endeavour that still has the power to censor you.

Europe needs to exclude public sector documents and public speeches from copyright protection. Let’s make sure there is public access to public sector works! Find out more in our new policy paper.

I'm updating a little instruction set for students to broadly search for civic technology and open government posts on the Mastodon network.

Any suggestions for hashtags to add to my list at the bottom of this post?

Or suggestions for active accounts to use to prime a list? Pic includes current list members and some instructions.

"Es muss ganz viele Projekte wie @fragdenstaat geben."

--> Yes, Lieblingsidee Eröffnung #37c3

Überhaupt schöne Einführung, @kattascha erinnert mit "Wissen ist Macht" eindrucksvoll daran, wie wichtig die Frage ist, wer Zugang zu Information und Systemen für alle hat und dass das Reflektieren eigener Privilegien dazu gehört.

Das politische Drängen auf #OpenData #Opensource #OpenGovernment berührt immer das Verhältnis von Individuum und Staat und vermisst stetig Freiheitsgrade der Gesellschaft.

This year the enormously talented Namratha Prasad tag-teamed with me to request and wrangle the data from more than 120 different public agencies across the St. Louis area.

“The EPA is asking us to do this, when they’ve never asked us to do it before," Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said. "They’re not asking other states to do it now. And we don’t really see a basis in law or logic for doing it.”

Not sure why the post highlights AG's opposition rather than headline that EPA is asking for polluters records to be public.

But my response to AGs objections are:
AGs:"they are not asking other states"
"they should"

AGs: "they've never asked us before"
"now is a good time to start".

1 item in https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/08/weeknotes-fin-so-what-did-i-accomplish/ makes me think I would love to hear more from other #OpenGovernment #GovTech folks about how to mitigate the negative impact of agencies publishing so much of their info as PDF files.

@Edent reflects on his recent work on open tech in the UK government:

"I found no adequate way to stem the tide of PDFs being uploaded to GOV.UK.... Everyone agrees that PDFs are inaccessible and don't work properly on mobile. But publishers love a fixed layout. So they stay."
