    There are government text messages and local websites and all sorts of ways of reaching people. Unfortunately, X probably reaches ten times as many people. I think a diversified approach makes sense.

    That being said, us gov has sent the text messages and that seems to be the best way to do it. Everyone has a phone. And if you don’t, then you like to live on the edge.

      All cell phones connected to a Japanese network received a notification regardless of their carrier, brand or what apps they installed.

      This is already way better than whatever reach X provides.

        Yeah, and kinda renders this thread and article pointless. X serves a redundant feature. Who cares if they treated a government like any other paying customer (like shit)? Bashing X is trendy and this article is just another one. I say this never having had Twitter, nor X, and I just don’t care. I also don’t own any MuskBrands™ stock or anything.

          Yeah, I’m ashamed for all the text I’ve typed in now.

          If so, then everything is done perfectly (why would they even bother with Twitter though).
