I am honestly not trying to be argumentative here, but starting a post this way is not the best way to start a discussion that will yield useful information. I share your concerns about this sort of thing, and hate that even the grayed-out Presidential Alert function is now missing from my current incarnation of Android (implying that it’s now built-in). However, “somewhere” and “federal laws” are sufficiently vague that we really can’t discuss this. Do you have the particular US law or bill under consideration that we can discuss? Any competent news source will make reference to the name/number of the bill or law it is discussing.
