I don't think moving to digital is the issue here. The issue is relying on third parties, which can have an issue at any moment, taking down whoever relies on them with them.
A government should not rely on CDNs like that. In fact government websites should not have any traffic going over third parties. When I want to use/view a government website, I should not be subjected to sharing any data with unwanted third parties and the government should not be affected, when some private company makes mistakes or has outages. It is an unacceptable situation.
They can set up their own state-owned CDN, using the same underlying technology. Compared to where they spend all that tax money, some servers and some engineers would be a very cheap investment, in relation to the independence achieved.
