Lots of government services post on Facebook - often only on Facebook. You can't comment on that or read it elsewhere. There are no alternatives unless the poster picks it for you.

Alternative to what? Protest? Why does it have to be the Facebook post?

That doesn't make Facebook like a government though. If twenty years ago the government chose to advertise a job in the three largest newspapers in a city, and not in the Dah00n Times, that doesn't make the newspapers like a government or incorporate them into the government. It might mean that people should question whether the government is too closely tied to certain private corporations. But that's a different question.
