Why does the gov. have its nuts in a twist over a privately-owned timewasting service?

The gov. should use public forms of communication, like their own websites and mailing lists. Why endorse this privitzation of their communcation channels in the first place?

100% agree. Even when Twitter was publicly owned, it seemed wrong to have public servants endorsing it and using it as a channel for conducting official business and communications.

Why not just go all the way and post government announcements through Instagram or TikTok. Oh, yeah, that would be "inappropriate" and a "security threat". But Twitter, that one is fine, a totally different thing!

:/

To take that even further, by using a social media channel as a means to post official communications, it becomes a quasi-governmental organization.

Why does the gov. have its nuts in a twist over a privately-owned uterus?

Because a bunch of insufferable twats called "Constituents" keep making a ruckus.
