Twitter has become the worst place to post about service status updates. Logged out users aren't able to see recent posts, so it's useless.
People complain about being annoyed by amber alerts on their phones anyway

I haven't been able to even* load* Facebook or X because of some privacy/security setting I must have enabled. Before that fb wouldn't let me see anything without an account and X was pulling really similar stunts, requiring an account for full access, although usually you could read the tweet and a few replies maybe.
It is absolutely bullshit for ALL the information to be on a social media post. I've definitely gotten them before with age and suspect/vehicle or something, and Twitter would have photos and further details like last seen location and clothes.
Wait until you install JShelter and Cloudflare refuse access
It's not just Xitter and Facebook, it's just most private social sites these days. IG, LinkedIn, Reddit, YouTube, etc. They want to know who you are and what you're doing, because that's how they make money.
I don't X anyways. All notifications are blocked.
You would have gotten this one, because it was a Wireless Emergency Alert, not a Xhitter notification.
Bro. Just use SMS for that stuff.
