If an organisation puts some of its most important info meant for the public at large, only on Facebook or only on Twitter, etc., are they valuing Facebook etc., more than their own website? Is this like if someone suggests that you keep your passport in one of your closest friend’s house?

Something like:
“How valuable are you own secrets?”
“Is Facebook to be trusted more than yourself?”
“Can you really be secure if you outsource your personal information?”
or something like that
Facebook gets a lot more traffic than individual websites.
Your passport comparison makes no equivalent sense. A better analogy is ,“do you make announcements in the news papaer or on broadcast TV?”
But if they post it on Facebook and not on their own website, it isn’t that important. Websites have information up front and always present, while Facebook preserves it but does not make it continually upfront.
For a company to do what you describe makes no sense.
Would you put important info for the public, only on Facebook or Twitter or newspaper or TV only i.e not in your own website?
In other words:
If you put one of the most important info meant for the public at large, only on Facebook or only on twitter, etc., aren’t you valuing Facebook etc., more than your own website? What if someone suggests that you keep your, let’s say passport, or some other important item, ..... but not even a copy in your own place?”
@zenvelo _“Websites have information up front and always present, while Facebook preserves it but does not make it continually upfront.” Facebook is a website too. Biggest maybe but it’s still a website isn’t it? All website store everything automatically unless data is actively deleted
To be continued responding to all.
