A lot of government agencies maintain social media presences.

The White House has a Twitter account, for example. So there are presumably federal employees with Twitter installed on their work phones for the purpose of operating that account.

They represent minority of workers. So, it should be allowlist approach where only few people can access Twitter, Tiktok, Facebook etc.. All other employee app installation must be disabled, if it is really privacy and "national security concern".

sure, but why would all government employees need access to social media by default?

Social media is today's media and the first job of government is to control the media (with exclusivity) for propaganda. Why are you surprised any government not only wants to be on social media but also to ban ones it can't control?

How else would the folks at Eglin AFB get their Reddit fix? ;)

Even The Democrat as a party has Tiktok account.

The Q's must drop . . .

( apologies, that was hard to resist )
