I'm not talking about people, I'm talking about government officials.
The fact that the British PM will post information, in his official capacity, on Twitter that will not be posted on gov.uk is ridiculous and should be illegal.
- e3bc54b2 4y agoIt doesn't matter how many people are on twitter, because all the journalists are already there. They pick the official's tweets and turn it to news.
- blitzar 4y agotbh I assume, naively, that organisations that post official things would post them via wire service and twitter at the same time. You are right, it should be illegal, at the extremes it totally breaks down - "I announced it publicly" could legitimately be "I stood at the back door of Downing street and whispered it out loud".

- robswc 4y ago>that will not be posted on gov.uk I agree it _should_ be posted on official websites. Unfortunately we're racing to the bottom in how information is communicated and an app that delivers 10 second bits of nonsense is winning.
