> Pre-Musk Twitter was one such cost-effective way
But with absolutely no continuity or performance guarantees, and answering to absolutely nobody.
Twitter (pre or post Musk) and any social network are companies that do whatever the hell they want whenever they wants. They answer to nobody, and nobody should rely on them to do anything of importance. Sure you can share cat photos with your family, but don't do anything that actually matters.
Maybe the service is down for a day = tough.
Maybe they charge you to post on their service = nothing you can do.
Maybe they charge people to read posts on the service = nothing you can do.
Maybe they flip the whole script and delete everything and do something totally different = tough.
Government relying on such flaky mechanisms to disseminate critical information to citizens is the problem here.
