They blocked the damn fire service pages... during bushfire season. I hope there is some law that is breaking so they can tear Facebook a new one, it's massively irresponsible and outright dangerous

Do they need to be on facebook?

Serious question, it seems an odd thing to say that's dangerous. If facebook is now part of the emergency services, I'd say that was dangerous anyway.

Private platforms are not public utilities. It's horrible that people have to come to treat it this way especially government.

Perhaps this is a nice incentive for the fire service to get their own website?

Facebook is a private company and can do what it likes.
