Yeah, that's not supposed to be allowed, but it clearly is happening. That's a Big Red Flag and needs to be cleaned up. How can anyone trust it, if it's allowing things that it claims it wasn't going to allow? Like Mori said, these are pains of initial rollouts. Twitter didn't have these problems, as it was an unknown, could grow organically and no one had expectations with experience in it, just hope of what it could become.
"not supposed to be allowed" - Yes, but, in general these platforms just allow you to make an account and pick whatever user name you want. So if you impersonate somebody by making an account name such as @Elon_Musk or @FBI or @POTUS, it just lets you do it. It is hard to maintain a huge block list of names that you shouldn't use. This is especially true if you're a small and growing company. You can claim that your network has strict policies to forbid this kind of thing, but it's almost impossible to automate it away, so you are left with real humans digging through all of the thousands of accounts created per day and all of the many reports and emails coming in complaining, and trying to sort out the answer of which accounts to ban or suspend. It's a lot of work.

These accounts were posing as government accounts who endorse Trump. They all even used the official logos of the government agencies they were posing as.

I know that Truth has created placeholder accounts for verified accounts, when they move over to claim them. Such as corporations, and/or people. I remember thinking that I should have bought the website address of companies like SEARS, IBM, Apple.com or what have you. Then you could sell them to those businesses. You could have done the same thing for Twitter accounts early on.

These are just accounts by ‘someone’ posing as official government entities trying to pretend those agencies are Trump supporters. It sounds like the standard normal fake Trump propaganda like the fake electors.

Trump Jr. suggested ways to overturn 2020 election election in text to Meadows: CNN
https://thehill.com/policy/national-sec ... adows-cnn/
The network reviewed a text message that was sent from former President Trump’s son to Meadows that was part of correspondence obtained by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, according to CNN.
In the text to Meadows on Nov. 5 at 12:51 p.m., Trump Jr. reportedly referred to the idea of having Republican-controlled state Houses put forward “Trump electors.”
The former president’s son also reportedly referenced filing legal challenges to state results and supporting recounts.
“It’s very simple,” Trump Jr. texted Meadows, according to CNN. “We have multiple paths We control them all.”

Well it seems like you're in luck, because everybody involved in investigating and prosecuting the Trump family seems to soil their diapers when the topic comes up of actually doing anything about it.

I don't understand why they are so afraid of Trump. I may have missed it, but is there a long list of political opponents that he's killed off or put behind bars that I don't know of? Even the FBI agent, Kevin Clinesmith, that fabricated evidence and was convicted of it, served no jail time and can still practice law.

I did hear that the Chinese Spy that honeypotted Eric Swalwell, Fang Fang, may have died in that commercial plane crash in China, that killed all 132 people. It's only a coincidence, and I'm not saying it was wrong doing. Nothing happened to Swalwell, or Feinstein for having a Chinese spy be on her staff for 20 yrs.
