"While I understand, what's the alternative you propose?"

Simple: Strike the word "only". It's not that hard to post to several sites and also your own. I'd like some RSS on the main site too. It's not that hard for an individual and it's even easier for an organization with thousands of employees.

Yep that's it exactly.

I'd prefer the government to host its own data.

I'd also like any site hosting public information to be compelled to serve that information to everyone.

Facebook may not know they're being used like this, and it would be fine for them to object, but if they do want to carry government alerts they should be open to non-users without tracking or shadow profiling.
