"I’m on about the emergency alert test sorry me not understand? what are you on about?" 23rd April (I think) a test emergency alert is being sent to all mobile phones. It's an early warning for floods, forest fires, nuclear attack and lost kittens. I might have fibbed about some of it | |||

"People seem to think they are being edgey by turning of the notifications " The way I look at this is that the govt must have access to our phones via our networks to send the notification in the first place. Therefore turning the notification off means nothing except you won't hear the test. If there's a sinister agenda it's already in place. | |||

Notifications turned off for me, but please sheeple, let the Government scare you yet again with something. Who's scared and why are you calling people sheeple?" It's a symptom of social programming. It's a new convention that allows people who might otherwise feel powerless, disconnected and disenfranchised by their mundane existence to feel they have some kind of special knowledge, source or insight that 'others' lack. The more disenfranchised they are by their place in society the more they need that sort of crutch to lean upon to re-elevate their self esteem. It's similar in some ways to how the early spike of the Dunning Kruger effect manifests. By labelling those others with pejorative catch phrases like 'sheeple' (or other such prescribed labels) they suddenly feel empowered as though they have the kind of insight they in fact lack. It's actually become quite a reliable conspiracy theorist signpost in this respect in the absence of an actual tinfoil hat. | |||

Yeah, it's not like Britain is lagging behind the rest of Europe with a system like this, we have weather warnings often that this could be ideal for and it could also be implemented in the case of any natural disasters but let's not let the truth get in the way of your conspiracy theory or feelings of superiority | |||

"I've switched my alert off. They're not getting access to my phone" They dint need access, the message is simply sent via all networks to any phone that is switched on. They are not getting your details etc just sending a generic message to everyone. | |||

An emergency signal, inthis case a test, gets sent to your phone to warn of an impending emergency event. And the problem with that is...........what exactly? The tests happen regularly near where I live. It's old news. | |||

"The government are getting it ready for the next pandemic,will go off and tell us to go home and stay there when required."

Therefore turning the notification off means nothing except you won't hear the test. If there's a sinister agenda it's already in place." Not necessarily… each network has a record of numbers on its system. All the government has to do it supply them with the appropriate code/message and allow them to broadcast or alternatively they have access and transmit direct, doesn’t mean the government have your details, phone numbers etc… | |||

Mrs Can they predict earthquakes? No they can't. They can only make educated guesses. " Even that they can't really do reliably. To say California will have an earthquake in 2023, that will happen just because of its location. But they can't guess when or the magnitude. Especially in places less likely to have an earthquake. What the warning system can do is give a warning to areas outside the epicentre that more may be coming, or in the case of the UK if we get a large enough earthquake (regardless of how unlikely) that a reasonable tsunami would be incoming. Regardless of the likelihood of needing it, every country should have a warning system in place. Be it invasion, natural disaster, terrorist etc. The more people able to be warned sooner, the better. | |||

"I live how people believe they are so important that the government gives a shit about what you do during your day to day life. - Who analyses this big data - what super computer are they using - What are they looking for - Who are they trying to correlate you with The first thing the police/MI5/FBI/any global intelligence network do when you commit a crime is take your phone and laptop to look for data. A process which takes hours or days. They do this because they can't access 8billion devices remotely, let alone interpret any fit even if they could Yes they can ping and intercept, but this is very, very specific Just think outside the box a little bit. No one gives a shit about what you do day to day " I think the creep of big data/ big tech is insidious and dangerous - but the focus on stuff like this is bloody silly. Worry more about your phone and places like Googtwaterbook | |||
