Trump Administration Testing First Nationwide Wireless Emergency Alert
- Axios, Wednesday, October 3, 2018 1:32 PM
Federal officials are planning to run the first nationwide test of the wireless emergency alert system on Wednesday. “It uses a type of alert that can only be sent by the president, and that consumers aren’t able to turn off,” Axios reports. “There’s been some concern that President Trump could use the alerts to broadcast his own political messages, even though that’s not allowed under a law governing the alerts.”
