I have a long commute in and out of a large city. Since I spend so much time on the road, I always try to get the details of Amber Alert notifications to be on the lookout for vehicles used in abductions. I guess I can’t do that anymore since Twitter requires an account to see Amber Alerts. Hopefully my state finds another platform to post them.
That’s crazy.
I was going to say it’s crazy that your local police use a private service like Twitter, but I guess the phone companies are a private service too.
Phone services are required to put out the message though, just like you’re able to dial 911 from a phone even if you don’t have service (if you’re in a covered area).
Twitter is not required.
