I mean is a one direction alert, that it’s intended to be only used on extreme/severe cases like if there a chemical leak where you are or a big fire or a tsunami or in worse case a missile but that last one would be uncommon for most people. Stuff that would require people to evacuate or move to safer places rather quickly.
I wouldn’t say the government is having access to your private space, and is just an alert that you dismiss… It’s not like it’s locking down your phone or remotely accessing it or some weird shit.
In some countries they are also used for missing people, train crashes, terrorist attacks, pandemic quarantine rule changes. I’m not opposed to getting this information, but I am opposed to it not being optional.
And I have zero trust in our current government and could absolutely see it being misused down the line. But, for now, they can be turned off here.
