It's not worse or better than a social platform. It's an entirely seperate tool. Broadcasting your official government messages through a community owned by other people that could delete your comments on a whim is not ideal. The people have already decided to put the owners in power through democratic elections, which are lightyears beyond the whims of narcisistic billionaires, admins and biased social media polls.
It verifies that what you are seeing is actually from a government agency. Like how .gov as a TLD verifies that you're in a government website.
You're really fundamentally misunderstanding this whole situation. This is like the government running their own webserver to host a blog. It's not government controlling anything.
Why is that a good or better thing?
