I can't believe people still use Twitter.
I dont really care that the average person still uses twitter... What's INFURIATING is that gov't agencies are still using that shit. Why are important pieces of information still being shared on twitter??
My friend works for a local town that has a presence on fb, twitter, and inatgarm. The main reason he says they haven't moved to platforms like blsky is because as a government entity they are required to be able to archive all online communications for situations like a Right-to-know request but run into the issue that these small platforms aren't supported by the archiving software so they can't move away completely until then. Fun fact: 1st amendment prevents the government pages from removing or hiding comments you leave on their posta
Would that stop them from duplicating the information on other platforms?
It does if it can't be archived, any official posts must be available for a right to know request so they could post on Facebook or twitter but other sites that don't have a way to archive or a third party to archive they can't make official posts
But my question is, does it not count as being archived if it's exactly the same message that's posted to another platform that is archived?
