I think the point is they should have built a system that doesn't need to be blocked - it should always effectively and appropriately deliver timely and relevant alert messages.
As taxpayers and citizens, we deserve better. At 11:32 PM 08/03/2019, Peter Kristolaitis wrote:
It can be blocked, FYI. Just... not as easily as it should be. On Android, if you remove the CellBroadcastReceiver service, the phone no longer listens for the alerts.I rooted my phone specifically to be able to do this after the alerting system rolled out in Canada. The test was bad enough, then within the first week we had several alerts for a single event that happened literally an entire day's drive away from me.And thus, in the first week the system was alive, alarm fatigue set in, the government confirmed that it cannot be trusted, and I revoked their privilege to use my personal devices for stuff I don't want.-- Clayton Zekelman Managed Network Systems Inc.
