The Trump administration will send a message to all U.S. cellphones on Thursday to test a previously unused alert system that aims to warn the public about national emergencies.
The messages will bear the headline “Presidential Alert”, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) said in a statement this week. Phones will make a loud tone and have a special vibration, said FEMA, which will send the alert.
The test message, scheduled for 2:18 p.m. EDT on Thursday, will read: “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.”
The test has been scheduled to ensure that the alert system would work in the event of a national emergency. ==U.S. cellphone users will not be able to opt out.==
Former President Barack Obama signed a law in 2016 requiring FEMA to create a system allowing the president to send cellphone alerts regarding public safety emergencies.
you're full of shit. smartphones already ARE a backdoor, you fucking idiot
Michael Cook
this thread has obviously been created by the same 'genius' who created the 'Google Engineers Quit Due To Secretive Chinese Search Associated To Your Phone Number' thread…..
bullfuckingshit
they've ALWAYS associated phone searches with your phone number
and the NSA has backdoors to ANY device, whether it's an iPhone, and Android Phone, an iPad, an Android tablet, a Mac or PC…
ANYTHING…..
obviously, OP doesn't know jackfuckingshit about technology
THIS JUST IN:
Next Thursday, The White House Will Be Making Water WET

Damn MORE scammers calling and sending texts.

anybody who thinks they have privacy anywhere is a fucking idiot

DEAR DIPSHIT OP
the entire reason smartphones were developed was to make people think they wanted a monitoring device with a GPS
it monitors you by being able to record audio, still images, video, internet searches, fingerprints, facial recognition & location….
exactly WHAT about that sounds like they need to 'create a backdoor'?
Brody Hill
THIS.
Tyler Brown
……………..and to think……………….
THIS is the type of bullshit that makes people want to own a smartphone
the 'marketing campaign' for mobile devices was autonomous and quite e f f e c t i v e
thousands of idiots walking around glued to their handheld device, all fixated zombies, tapping away at the screen, playing infantile games, leaving Facebook posts about their new shoes, adding emojis to selfies
I'm an oldschool computer fanatic. I'm not a programmer or a hacker or a gamer or a geek….
I'm an ARTIST…..
for example, here's a painting I'm finishing for a local Judge who wanted it for a seminar he's holding next week.
but I'm also a digital illustrator an animator, a video editor, and musician.
to me, a computer is a CREATIVE STUDIO
I taught myself how to model, animate & render full-blown raytraced 3D animation decades ago on the Commodore Amiga.
i had 6 computers at one point, right before I decided to try testing the boundaries of handheld devices as a mobile creative studio.
I have paid versions of Adobe Photoshop Touch for Android, FL Studio Mobile for Android, Audio Evolution Editing Suite, the best Animation Software for Android, 3D apps, etc etc etc
I am well aware that the Virtual Machine Dalvik (nicknamed Android) has been a monitoring platform from day one….
I COULDN'T CARE LESS…..
in fact, I feel sorry for any NSA data analyst who has to trudge through my metadata and actual content… I hope they like Elvis and cats, because they're going to have a lot of content to dig through, and I hope they like hardcore happy trance and Florida breakbeats… If they don't, that music's going to drive him crazy when they're digging through my shit…
Here's the painting I'm finishing for a local judge. Acrylic on canvas, and I gave him a discount price, because he's actually commissioned several paintings from me in the past few months
any NSA analyst assigned to dig through MY content is probably going to find Florida Breakbeats a bit irritating at first, but after awhile, they'll certainly become hooked on it.
Oliver Adams
The NSA staff told me to tell you they like your beats user.
Ryder Scott
my favorite thing about smartphones is irritating the ever livin' dogshit outta you guys while I'm in line at the grocery store
Does this replace or coincide with the backdoor that the CIA already put there?
Christopher Evans
after the world found out that the CIA and the NSA have been in an ongoing octagonal redundancy pissing contest for information collection, storage & management, literally recording audio & video of you from your God damn REFRIGERATOR and TOOTHBRUSH, it seems kinda amateur to think you're 'on top of your game's by warning people about an upcoming backdoor.
they're also planning on making Trump become an embarrassing, fat, stupid, illiterate, delusional, idiotic, ugly, racist, lying piece of shit who has no understanding of how to run a government, is a shitty businessman, doesn't actually have a billion dollars, can't get any attractive smart women to fuck him, made the worst agreement in history with Kim Jung-Un, is actively being blackmailed by Russia, and had no idea what Braille was?
sounds like a nefarious plan to me
dickmouth
Nathaniel Flores
For a guy with a 'wife' and 'son' you sure spend a lot of time on a website you apparently hate talking to yourself.
Not a backdoor per se. It’s reliant on the ability of service providers to control all traffic to and from your phone. Nothing we don’t already know about.
Thomas Thomas
lol apparently, you don't have a wife or kids……..
because you seem to think being married with children would preclude me from being able to shitpost……
in other words, I'm suggesting that you're a fucking idiot who doesn't know jack shit about life…………………………….
moron
Samuel Hill
uneducated human detected
go play some more video games, little boy
Dylan Wilson
Aww, if you wanted some attention, you just needed to ask! Here's your (you), champ!
Josiah Miller
What surprises me is that it only now gets used in the usa, cell tower based alert messages have been in use in Europe for a few years already
Cooper Ross
allow me to teach you how real life works
it's not like Dungeons & Dragons or Magic the Gathering, so it might seem kind of alien to you…..
But you claim to be an intelligent man, and if you try really hard you might actually learn something…..
see, I have three kids, and they're all grown………
isn't that AMAZING ??? children get older !! they don't remain babies forever (although YOUR mother would disagree)
NEXT TOPIC: MARRIAGE
now, this is going to be very confusing to you…
a 'girlfriend' is a female who finds you to be charismatic and attractive………..
yes, I swear to god it happens !!
this female becomes your 'girlfriend' when she '''invests part of her life into yours'''….
(I realize that at this point, you think I'm fabricating facts, but this process actually occurs all the time)
when that girlfriend finds you to be worthy enough, she will decide to invest her ENTIRE existence into yours !!
she becomes your wife
yes, women will actually have sex with you, and share their entire life with you……
I realize this is all just a little bit too much for you to take in at one time, but here's another shocker:
unlike you, women are willing to find jobs and WORK……………….
meaning their husbands have free time…………….
==ISN'T THAT ASTOUNDING?!!=
Juan Martinez
NEWS FLASH !!!
cell tower based alert messages have been in use in America since cell phone towers were originally built
Nicholas Edwards
[[Insert generic negative attention here]]
Brandon Rivera
if you dont think they already have a "backdoor" or some shit like that you have an iq under 60.
the real question should be: "why are they testing this alert system now?".
this outgoing network link isn't dependent on the device being turned on, or even operational, for that matter
if the system effectively SENDS across the entire network, with all carriers complying simultaneously, it can also RECEIVE, and they don't give a fuck if you receive it or not.
it's nothing more than a test
and they can still track you even if your phone is turned off
Caleb Jones
congratulations on the 'being a gullible idiot who can be hoodwinked by somebody as amateur as Mike Savage' thing
James Morris
Remember to do as the message says, everything will be just fine.
I've seen some easily fooled people in my life, but you just proved that the average 4 year old is less easily hoodwinked than you…………………………….
you should seriously consider getting a facial tattoo, and having a guardian court appointed to handle your money for you
Matthew Brooks
I ironically, that pic reminds me a lot of you imageboard guys, all following the trendy videogame pathway to homosexuality….
by the way, you may have noticed I was careful not to use the term 'lemmings' when mentioning how you creeps all behave the same.
That's because Lemmings actually don't follow each other off cliffs… That's a myth that was created in the 1950s in a Walt Disney movie…
Lemmings don't behave that way at all
but YOU guys do
William Bailey
Including your anus
Jordan Flores
They gonna git your location You commie druggie
Landon Phillips
I would be stupid if I assumed anything less
Camden Torres
for anyone who doesn't understand WHY
Daniel Johnson
Fake news from shills. There will be a test, the system has never been tested, it was created in 2012. But there is no backdoor. The Emergency Broadcast System will also be tested at the same time, that's for TV and radio.
Thomas Gonzalez
how to spot the fool:
they actually use the term 'fake news' Instead of a more appropriate definition
And they include the word 'shill'
on the bright side, you somehow managed not to mention Jews or a flat earth
David Bell
Somehow, it seems like you shorted us by not saying something about make America great again, or build the wall, or any of the other idiotic mantras that you've been brainwashed into believing
your mother pays quite a lot for your internet connection
stop wasting it and demonstrate your fullest potential
Adrian Cooper
Tomorrow I'll be fine ANd everything will be the same Tomorrow I'll be fine It's only gonna be another day THey're always looking at me funny I'm always doing something wrong I'm thinkin' they'd be better off if I was gone Tomorrow I'll be fine And everything will be the same Tomorrow I'll be fine It's only gonna be another day They never tell me what they're thinking They're always busy being mad I start to thinkin' Could it be 'cause I am bad? Oh I'll go Where I can't hear them Oh I'll go Away
Leo Campbell
Hey where's my test message you homo
Gabriel Evans
joke's on them, mine's unlocked.

It was rescheduled to an undetermined date until convenient for OP's story.
Aaaand then the Democratic Socialists cause a 30% increase in taxation so that you have to spend extra hours at which ever gulag is willing to accept pitiful you.
Tyler Bell
What's the big deal? I have received EAS alerts on my phone, duplicates of what radio stations are required to play over the Emergency Alert System. I used to work in broadcast and maintained those systems. Mostly they are things like Amber Alerts, threatening weather, and we've had a tornado warning once. All this stuff played out of my phone, prefaced by the usual EAS tone, as in the embed.
Cooper Lopez
Help!? Found my phone typed a long message on its own after sending a sibiling a Q save the world video? Just seems to odd! Anyone else getting freaky text?
Q is Fake he's discrediting the Masonic Jew Language GEMATRIA

I that turned out to be bullshit. Good job pisswater
Zachary Long
The Issue is Canada is basically a white country unlike America, socialist policies don't work when there is racial disunity which is why it's failing in Sweden
Brayden Phillips
and it will be TREMENDOUSLY wet! it will probably be the wettest water any president has ever made, in the history of water! nobody's ever felt water like this, because previous administrations have done a terrible job on the wetness. but our work on water has just been tremendous! you're gonna love it!
Kayden Hill
the 20th came and went with nothing of the sort happening.
and this was reported by reuters.
Wyatt King
i didnt get shit on my tracking device, but i have all alerts turned off.
