You could make that argument about them being allowed to have an account at all, but simply marking that account in such a way that informs the userbase that it's not a troll/parody account or something, but the actual organization?
That doesn't "platform" them, they're already on the platform at the time this happened. And confirming that something asserted to be true, is in fact true, is a good thing.
