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?

Don’t be surprised that fascists use the fascist megaphone.

The Secretary of Defense coordinated military operations on Signal, accidentally included a reporter to the group chat (who later spilled the tea on the whole thing), and in that chat claimed they were “clean” on their opsec.
That’s what republicans do. They’re dumber than a bag of wet bags.

they would never do such a thing. not after calling out hillary clinton for using private email servers.

Bush used private email servers before her. The trump admin used private email servers after the scandal. I didn’t think ANYONE in the government should be, but Republicans have always accused others of what they were doing

Not just signal, a home brew spy version from a foreign government.
