    If it’s an official govt agency I think it makes sense for them to be allowed on communications platforms and to be verified, so that people can see what they’re saying and know that it’s an official statement.

    Then people can see the post and make their own judgements about it, knowing it’s an official agency statement.
    Having twitter style factcheck for blatant misinformation is also important for this, though.

      Yeah, I can see that perspective too, but at the same time it’s Nazi propaganda they’re posting. There aren’t really any good options.

        Yeah, but at the same time it’s kinda good for people to be able to see the kind of shit they’re posting for themselves.

        It is propaganda, but it’s not good propaganda, and that’s what the community fact checking thing is meant to counter, imo.
