Govt agencies and public figure use X, Facebook, and other corporate social media because of a few reasons. 1) Everyone is already there, 2) they don't have to manage servers and security (we all know they like to outsource security), 3) they have someone to blame and sue when things go wrong, 4) the product is too good and takes too much money to replicate. Probably some other reasons i don't know about.

Find another goddamn website. Options exist, people!
