The Social Security Administration is cutting staff from its communications office, and will rely on social media posts instead of press releases to update the media and the public.

Social Security Commissioner Linda Kerr-Davis told employees in a call Thursday that regional offices will no longer issue press releases or letters. Instead, the agency will be using X to communicate to the press and the public.

especially that you aren't even allowed to read posts if you don't have an account, and if you don't log in, and by extension if you don't accept the privately owned profit driven platform's terms of service and privacy policy
