A lot of government agencies use Twitter for breaking news, notifications, and alerts that they're trying to get out as quickly as possible to as many people as possible, such as tornado warnings, amber alerts, traffic conditions, etc. I can't imagine they'd stick around a platform that requires logging in to view these messages.

Kind of terrible that we ever got to this point. I've seen announcements from government agencies that are ONLY available on social media. Who thought that was okay?
