I had no idea this shit depended on twitter!?!? what a bunch of bullshit. Even though I usually ignore amber alerts they should at the very least be as accessible as possible for people who help.

FreakinSteve,

Former HI Governor Ige could not recall a false missile attack alert because he didnt know his Xitter password.

This is what happens when governments rely on a private corporate service for public announcements

Every government should just adopt a fediverse instance of some sort, maintain it and push that to everyone to use as a public announcement service. That way it would not be controlled, manipulated, lost or disconnected if they had full control over it all the time.

metaStatic,

This is a solved problem

Shit catches fire in Australia and we get text messages.

shani66,

Our phones in America get amber alerts and extreme weather notifications too, so idk what this article is on about

metaStatic,

ignoring for a second you can turn off push notifications so that's a stupid contact method in the first place they also just linked to a 3rd party site instead of sending info directly over the system.

sunzu2,

Yeah but government doing anything besides feeding corporate parasites is communism.

Can't have that... We should be paying Twitter a service fee for them allowing our government to communicate to peasants.

I wonder why such an important piece of info is posted on social media but not on a dedicated webpage that can be linked to any social media posts.

postmateDumbass,

And remember the attempt to abandon AM radio as a standard for diseminating emergency information.

Will be????

CosmoNova, to technology in AI Agents Will Be Manipulation Engines

Any major platform owned by a major corporation is a potential (and often practical) manipulation engine. AI already creeps into Social Media and only amplifies what platforms want you to see anyway.

do we have any protection on this site against agents?
