The fact that a state government used a commercial service to inform the public is absurd, and this was bound to happen eventually.
Governments have been PAYING to inform the public via commercial services for... ever? And requiring citizens to do the same. Have you ever seen a public notice in a newspaper? At least posting on Twitter is free (for now).
"For now", is right. That isn't always the case.
