This is exactly why official agencies should have their own mechanismm of public communication, and not rely on 3rd party corporate chat platforms...
How the FED, SEC, and any government office thought having a faceplant or twit account was good idea is beyond me...
Of course, those who throw themselves gushingly at every corporate slime to crawl out from under a rock will have a hard time understanding this opinion. That is also part of the problem...
I wish these platforms that are used to distribute information had the option for important organizations to re-centralize their communication.
Instead of a Twitter account that could be hacked, why not let the SEC post to a feed hosted by themselves that Twitter can poll against and post to Twitter for them? Then you get the benefits of centralization for dissemination of information but decentralization for security? Then these important accounts can invest as much as they want in their own security?
It seems like the only benefit that Twitter actually gives vs the SEC just posting on their site is that centralization.
