    if you read the article, you’d find out that the alert linked to the X post. it could be linking to a dedicated webpage instead, which wouldn’t require logging in.

      It should be linked to another page. Social media should never the be the primary source for anything like this.

        Especially Musk’s far-right propaganda platform. Public and media organizations need to stop using it.

        Social media should never be someone’s primary website too. IMO. But people are lazy.

        They don’t even want email anymore, they want you to message them with Twitter or Instagram or whatever.

        Not even another page should be the primary source. That page should be a secondary for updates. The alert itself should have included all the actionable details.
