   Ok, first and foremost - an Amber alert, I hope it all works out and the kids are all safe. And I get the need to disseminate information as quickly as possible.

   Secondly, I have many feelings about a government alert being broadcast to phones containing a bitly link to an X [dot] com post. The X post, is not accessible if you are not logged in to X/Twitter.

   We desperately need to decouple our government departments and agencies from commercial entities when it comes to Crisis communications. This, in my opinion, is pretty unacceptable.
