Users will not to be opt out.

Who's fucking phone is it exactly? Did the government buy it for me? No?

Maybe best to save the outrage for when / if you ever get an unwanted warning.

They can ping all phones that connect to a transmission tower. If you can connect to it, they can connect to you - and honestly, it's a safety thing, much like a public tsunami warning siren. Calm your tits.

This isn't at the phone level though, presumably the Telco level , and broadcast to all phones connected to particular towers, may be that's why there is no ability to opt out per se?

If my phone is in do not disturb then that should be my choice.

Anyway I'll calm my tits.

Graphene OS will likely still let me turn off this bullshit.
