I don't see this as Twitter/X's fault (very much), I mostly blame them for linking to a Tweet instead of just sending the details in the Amber alert. Or, here's a bright idea, why no both? Send the details and a link to a tweet for updates.

People complain about being annoyed by amber alerts on their phones anyway
Complaining about a loud irrelevant thing is different from not wanting it.
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.
