Those websites aren't easy to update. I have a website of my own too, and even though I've set it up to be as painless as possible, it's always going to be easier for me to open a social media app and post.

Now imagine that the local government has a website that can only be changed by contacting a web developer, who takes 1-2 business days to reply. It might not be as bad as that, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's the ballpark.

Most content websites that are managed by a organisation such as a council/government or are usually driven by some CMS software. Updates are usually done by a content/social media team. These people are also posting the updates to twitter.

It isn't the late 90s/2000s anymore where people are uploading HTML files over FTP.

Every city and town has a website with information on services and paying taxes. They usually use a third party payment system in my experience, but the main site is theirs and they still use shitter and bookface.

If our governments can't update an HTML page same way they update a twitter status then we are all doomed and should just nuke ourselves to get it over with.
