Some national governments in Europe run their own instances. For example Germany runs https://social.bund.de/ and the Netherlands run https://social.overheid.nl. The EU itself has https://social.network.europa.eu/.
All of them have accounts for government organizations and elected officials.
That's the dream here, but they all run rogue Facebook pages and just link to those from their official government websites. It's a nightmare.
