Honestly it would be good to extend that rule to all government officials on all media platforms. When did we get to a point where everyone @FBI @USARMY @IRS @NASA @USHOUSE @USEMBASSYINNEPAL are making their own random statements about whatever they want? Shouldn't all government communications be disseminating from a single source or at least be approved?
I first noticed the phenomenon when @FBIPortland quickly tweeted an official statement (before they could have even started any investigation) that "there is no group setting fires on the west coast, that's just a conspiracy theory, so please stop calling the police to report that you saw someone setting a fire."
