Maybe, but they are attempting to run the govt like a for-profit corporation, so they are using the updated acquisition handbook. If all communication goes through Xitter, that's traffic clicks the Rat is getting.
What recourse do those who have been removed from [X]itter (pronounced "Shitter") have ?
If we(they) are going to make it a requirement to be on the Dead Bird site is it going to become a state property too?
Twitter should have been nationalized before Elon was allowed to buy it. If leftists ever get power again, it needs to be taken from Elon. The same goes for Facebook as well.
It's more than SSA employees, it's also the PUBLIC which now must rely on Twitter posts for Social Security Administration communications.
"Instead, the agency will be using X to communicate to the press and the public — formerly known as Twitter...will become our communication mechanism.”
There it is, something we knew was coming. Force it all to a private company to manipulate and distort all means of communication.
Now X can shut off your feed and use your non responsiveness as reason for you to be terminated.
It’s all going to be so much worse in 3 months. Prepare.
This article makes it sound like they’re not going to respond to any congressional inquiries. Congress members assist their constituents with federal agencies when there’s an issue. I’m wondering if that means ssa wont respond. Hmmm
It's literally illegal on multiple levels. For one, if xitter is their only way to communicate or to access work related materials or whatever, then it's a corporation creating a monopoly, violating antitrust laws. And also, it's a government organization using a social media site to communicate
This should be illegal. Not everyone has access to social media. Many do not want X, and it is funneling info to one private company, possibly raising X's revenue. (Self dealing)
I remember in 2016 (ish) Tesla CEO Elon Musk named his Twitter handle in SEC filings as an acceptable way to reach shareholders & employees.
I also remember Tesla employees getting super annoyed that Musk would tweet false claims that employees were left to deal with, without any real authority.
So people HAVE to go to a hate-filled porn & propaganda site to get news & updates about their job? And that info can’t be found on their own government website because, why?
Sounds ridiculous and juvenile. Just like this regime making "policy" or "ruling" (those terms are used loosely in this case) by tweet or social media. Stupid. Sounds like a bunch of middle schoolers in charge.
I wonder how this will play out with official discipline cases? EM's? Will they be adding tweets to the PACS?
This is going to make the cluster fuck that is already agency communication and blow it up.
But at least there won't be anymore anonymous HR. gov emails, so there’s that.
This is the so inane. A commercial server for SSA internal communications! It calls into question the security of all data. This is outrageous and must be stopped by Congress immediately!
Call, write, visit your representatives and let them know you want secure gov’t communications restored!
and then when you miss an important bulletin and don't have the information that you need, they'll stop making your SSA payments. It's another legitimacy threshold.
Beyond unprofessional to communicate with employees via Twitter (X). I'd quit just over that! (Easy for me to say. I'm a lucky Boomer, retired from my government job already.)
This sounds like more bs. They will at least have to have someone running the X account, why couldn’t that person also post a press release on a website or send out an email?
Also, are they just trying to soften us up for the day they announce everyone has to sign up for X to receive their social security payments or something else ridiculous like that?
By order of the Teump propaganda network, the Fox is now speaking for the henhousr. When they've chosen a platform that specializes in propaganda and hate for their official communication. Everything is in doubt. They are slow walking us to our own robbery.
Someone smart and coder-y should create a scoop site that just pulls data from ONE X account, and posts it for federal employees that don’t want a stupid Nazi Account.
Would it be great if someone on Bluesky who follows twitter to keep up on the bullshit would repost on Bluesky? I deleted my twitter account and would hate to get back on it. Hoping for a lawsuit.
hopefully they think to make one person sign up for x and that person just posts the screenshots here on bluesky for everyone else to get the memo because fuck that forever and ever
Sound's like benefit recipients are also expected to their updates on X too. Can you imagine 80 yr olds having go through that cesspool to exchange info on a forum that DOGE can access?
How is this acceptable. By the end of this administration Musk's businesses will be so intertwined into government systems it will take years to reverse it.

It's UNSAFE.

I also remember Tesla employees getting super annoyed that Musk would tweet false claims that employees were left to deal with, without any real authority.

besides profit and advertising what would X then have access to - watching you politically? Tracking where you are? Your family? …
This is just beyond fu€ked
This is fucking unreal.
Thats just unbelievable!
IF you don’t yet think Elon Bought the presidency, this should convince you. 🤔
GOP is dead and forwards to MAGA which forwards ONLY to Donald Trump.
New IRS API getting plugged into X and GrokAI.
Trump owns all our asses.
This is not a way to do official government business. Not X. Not Truth Social.
They release cute terror stories every hr as psy terrorism
Apparently you can get kidnapped and mudered anyways. So why comply?
