Using (only) corpomedia to announce information at government level should be illegal.
As of Jan. 20th, they will fully be one and the same.
How do you think amber alerts work in general? The telecoms lease frequency from government, but they go through the corporate telephone system.
The problem here isn't corporate or not, it's a specific police department making decisions that don't make sense, namely sending out data on a specific corpo platform without a legally binding agreement that this information will reach people.
In contrast, my county for example also contracts through a corporation, but that corporation is purpose built to provide municipalities with guaranteed (as much as this is possible) delivery.
Municipal governments go where the people are.
People need to leave Twitter, that's the real problem.
