Shouldn’t they just need to make some kind of ActivityPub-based system (or just setup a government run Mastodon instance if they don’t want to work with their own software) for distributing their information and then just start publishing the alerts that way? I could see a real niche for a simple ActivityPub system for governments and businesses who just need to publish information and don’t need all the multiuser/conversation features.
From their delusional point of view it’s cheaper to demand fb solve the problem.
