    why governments and public funded organizations are allowed to use social media platforms

    Because more outreach “for free”. It would be weird if they were forbidden from it.

        You know what I mean. Or at least you should.

        It’s free in terms of government operating costs for the technology, in a way that not even their official emails is.

        They would have to pay an outreach person anyway. Social media is the lowest barrier outreach channel. It’s easy to spend less and reach more when compared to sending me correspondence via mail like some officials in my area do.
