I’m confused why governments and public funded organizations are allowed to use social media platforms.

They're trying to meet citizens where they're at. The idea isn't completely without merit, but government—at all levels—should be treating these accounts as secondary while running primary accounts on their own infrastructure.

That might have been the original intention for those who weren't just being lazy and ignorant, but now they are simply captured.

Spinning up a Lemmy instance, mastadon, or other federated platform couldn't be too labor intensive. It's the beauty of free and open source software.
