Where are their communications? Who visits a government website without needing to?
To me it makes sense that they should cover as much ground as possible and have accounts on all major platforms as well as making announcements on TV and radio.
And in order to do so they should have their own accounts on there in order that their message gets across directly without having to go through a third party that has an account on there.
Now, when that site starts espousing "free speech" of the sort that only they like, then it might be a good idea to not use that particular platform any more, because that brings in the third party interference that wasn't there in the first place, even if the site was technically third party.
But hey whatever, now let's make, say, the BBC the mouthpiece of the government - it's not like the Tories didn't try really hard to do that when they were in power - and have everyone report on that. Far better.
