There should not be a channel for government communications that is only available upon giving money or information to a private party.

(But that's a ship that sailed long before the internet age. "Want to know the laws? Pay up!")

Public sector and publicly funded groups should be communicating through standards-based channels. Their content belongs to the digital commons. This exists today, via the ActivityPub and RSS sphere of ecosystems.
