A growing number of prefectures have stopped posting disaster warnings on the platform due to limits on the number of free posts allowed.

Right? They’re still using floppy disks and fax machines.

Fax machines are one of the main ways of communications there. I guess floppy disks are indeed partly used at municipal offices yet.

Oh, very much so. There was a big news story about two years ago where a police officer lost a floppy disk that had a bunch of people’s personal information on it.
