Are the Twitter feeds canon Frontier lore?

Hey all.
Social Media [redacted rhymes with "glut" self-identified so not shaming] DNA-Decay here.

So, there's a bunch of Twitter feeds that have like almost no followers.

There's Frontier Dev posts. There's Elite Dangerous. There's a ED community feed.
But there's also the PowerPlay characters and the uh, "Alliance Police Force"
Which is not to b confused with the ADF Alliance Defence Force.

I notice this stuff, because that's my gig.

I'm like the guy that measures the amount of cocaine in the Thames instead of arresting you all individually for a urine sample. Sample the public stream to figure out what Brookes and co are cooking up in that trailer.

Are these PowerPlay figures "real" i.e. Frontier.
or are they Drew or someone messing with us.

There's like three @"Aisling Duval"s one of which looks like the AD PowerPlay leadership.
No @'s for Arissa Lavigny Duval though plenty of #tags for her.

At least some of them, most likely all, are fan run accounts and so not canon. The hudson one in particular is a guy off reddit.

Ta.

Not all the Powers are represented, and the posts take an interest in the Plot rather than PowerPlay.

Whoever is doing it is following the GalNet feeds closely and seems to have the tone kinda right.

I love stuff that breaks the fourth wall. There's a couple of "augmented reality" games that I follow.
One of which seemed to require logging in to the FSB (KGB) website. All this radical opposition content spread across several types of social media. Tying in with any real protest that was happening.
You could never be sure if a post was a game admin pushing a plot point or a player advancing their own agenda.

Halo ran something like that for a release. Clues spread across different media. Be at a phone box at a certain time window.

Anyway it would be nice to know.
When I see a tweet from "Edmund Mahon"
As a classic Alliance shill, there's a temptation to either salute or burn it with fire.
