To allow people to check X without feeling they are contributing to the success of the platform, by bypassing the account requirement.

Jut dont use it, either it's useful or not. X needs revenue to continue to bypassing it illegal and should not be done. Either use X or don't.

I don’t use it, but some government organizations keep doing it. Why on earth they do that, I will never know, but I’m not making an account to read a tweet.

		>Why on earth they do that, I will never know Because some people in positions of power ignore the consequences of using external services. There has been a bit of a wake up call in this regard in Europe, with many governments making efforts to detach themselves from US corporations, but it's a much larger problem. When a government entity chooses to rely on Whatsapp, or Android, or some other piece of technology bound to a corporation, they are creating a bond between the rights and services they enable and interaction with that corporation. This nuance is often ignored because "Well everybody uses (thing) anyway" and other shortsighted trains of thought. I'm by no means against opposing X in principle, but the issue at hand is not itself about X, and I suspect a lot of people wouldn't care if it was still Twitter.

		If it's dead the people posting there that we're trying to get access to will post somewhere else, probably somewhere easier to access.

You don't have a choice when cities, counties, or other government officials decide to make announcements on there.
