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.
