AT&T Installing Phone Alerts From Obama That You Can’t Switch Off

Remember how, in George Orwell’s 1984, Big Brother streamed a constant flow of propaganda through a TV into Winston Smith’s home? Smith could not turn it off for fear of punishment. Fiction became reality in North Korea, which mandates that a propaganda radio channel must be played at all times in people’s homes. And it’s becoming one step closer to reality here in America with news that AT&T is loading iPhones with emergency alerts from Obama – and there’s no way to turn them off.
AT&T Obama alert
The new operating system will carry three types of alerts: AMBER Alerts (notifications about missing children); Emergency Alerts (information about generalized emergencies); and announcements from President Obama. You can turn off the first two, but there’s no way to dodge the Obama alerts. They’re not optional; they’re a fixture.
Gee. I wonder what Obama has to say that’s so important that it trumps an ordinary emergency alert, as well as a person’s free choice to be tuned in or not.
