@Brendanjones You can bet Meta has lobbied governments to encourage its use within government itself as well as between the public and government.

Microsoft has and does, which is why its apps and document file formats remain the standard in many governments around the globe.

It's surprising where FOSS has supplanted Microsoft that communications haven't uniformly shifted away from monopolistic providers.

@femme_mal @Brendanjones Similar to how Amazon/AWS has the most contracts with the US government (or maybe just defence, IIRC) than any other big-tech company...

@femme_mal @Brendanjones I assume its largely based on "How many people already use platform X", and probably consultants who can sell a easy way to maintain a comms presence on these platforms, Meta has been really good at "improving" the stickiness of its network effect.
