I mean it's a tough situation. If users want to dive deep into their bubble and ignore everything else, you'd pretty much have to set up Amber Alert style phone alarms or something. How well would that go over?
Those people need to pull their head out.
It should be on the government to post this information on a public government website. It should be on the people to go read it.
I do believe governments should be looking at alternative alerting options though. They should take the recent API rate hikes by Twitter as a bright red warning that they should never have relied on private companies like this for important alerts.
You could have just not punished them for allowing users to use the "share on Facebook" link the news sites put below every article?
Fuck Facebook. They're a disgusting excuse for a company that's in the wrong on basically everything else they've ever done. But they aren't even a shred of wrong on this.
