Could always go the route of an amber alert-like system being primary and then pipe the same msg to their secondary commercial platforms (like X). I'm not privy on the details but it sounds irresponsible to rely on X primarily/solely.

I bet they spam that message through every medium they can - TV, radio, loudspeakers, phone alert, text, traffic signs, all the social media platforms.

That's what they're doing, Twitter/X is only redundancy
