Should the government use social networking sites (like Facebook) to communicate information to the public? - : ] - 01-16-2013 09:35 AM
Why or why not?
Also, are government agencies already officially on facebook, twitter, etc?

No, because I don't think people are smart enough to differentiate information that came from legitamate sources vs a phony one. Hackers would probably have a field day sending false information using spoofed gov't facebook accounts if the government used that as a communication channel.

With the popularity of social networking, I imagine they already do. I know for a fact that Obama and the White House have Twitter accounts as well as major news corporations.
