Yes, they should know it when they see it. And if they happen to make a mistake the government will helpfully tell them what to correct.

There is no 'the government'.

The government is an entity of elected and unelected people. They have their own bias, their own friends, their own wants.

I have stopped using Facebook because it sucks, but if the government sucks, I am forced to use them.

The government will be in touch to help you correct your thoughts.
