The cost to run and operate a social media server is negligible in comparison with the payroll for people managing POTUS account on all the different platforms.

Also, "people" complain about everything, it doesn't stop the government from spending however they want.
When there is a will, there is a way. If these are the best "reasons" to not do it, seems like it is just a lack of will to be independent from Big Tech.
- krapp 3y agoThe people are already there, the infrastructure is already there, and the cost is already being borne by someone else. You could describe that as "a lack of will to be independent from Big Tech" if you want, but the fact remains there is no rational reason for the government to run and maintain its own social media infrastructure when it doesn't need to, and when almost no one would bother to care if they did.
