You had no expectation of control over the content on your screen. You control the on-screen content of phones to an exponentially greater degree.

Seeing libs cry about a presidential alert system for emergencies as if it is invasive.. It’s literally the least invasive thing to happen in the last 2 years Everything the tech companies are doing is over 10 times as fucked up Emergency alert is nothin but Trump derangement

What about the big ole siren they used to use to activate the volunteer firemen before beepers. You could hear it for miles. Or does local gov't not count?

Counterpoint: they are absolutely not different and anyone who expects to have customization or control over a device they do not own running on a network they do not control is a huge idiot.

I don’t mind an alert, just don’t spy through my microphone and camera and don’t blast the emergency sound through my headphones.

Was this even debated when the initial law was passed? I don't remember it at all.

My Tv is very customizable. My radio not do much because it’s acreciver - and no body uses them as much as a phone think of it this way. Your PC gets an email from FEMA, telling you to get out of dodge. If Obama had done this he’d get nominated for Noble prize for science .

Only extremely tech-savvy people expect to be able to customize/control their smartphones beyond a decorative level. The funding model to get them into everyone's hands has come at the cost of never truly owning the devices.
