We've already got amber alerts here, have for nearly a decade, except for some stupid reason the government did an exclusivity deal with Facebook so you only get them if you use their app.

    That's not really amber alerts then, and I don't care what they call it. The whole point of amber alerts in America is that it's a broadcast system similar in style to the emergency warning system that this post is about.
