I found the fact that they're backing away from missile warnings and that Massachusetts has no provision at all for nuclear emergency response (see the footnotes) quite worrying.
Looking at the text of your flagged comments, they read like unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, not something relevant that would contribute to substantive discussion on the topic.
1) I received duplicate alerts as did many others. Timing of mine is suspicious; something a skilled hacker would do
2) military looking couple decided to goad me about my suicide bag that evening.
3) many others received duplicates
4) reports of duplicates, relevant at least to a technical malfunction (no conspiracy theory) didn’t make it into any official reports despite having occurred
Flagging a theory — that it was a hack or otherwise intentional — which explains why i would receive a duplicate suspiciously timed and then harassed about a suicide bag — isn’t helpful to the discussion. Makes it look like sweeping under the rug, even if that wasn’t the reason for flagging.
Re: 2. You say that happened at coffee gallery, why would strangers at a coffee shop be aware of your suicide bag? I feel like I’m missing something as to how this would occur, or why it would be relevant.
Regarding duplicates; when I’ve reciever campus alerts from various institutions, I have on occasion reciever duplicates.
Please allow me to rephrase so my comment does not get flagged.
The Hawaii false missile alert was quite likely a coordinated hack combined with a bumbling cover-up. I have evidence suggesting this to be a likely explanation.
Of note is that the EMA story changed and was rather opaque. There was no discussion about the duplicate alerts that many people received, including me.
No explanation as to why a military looking couple was goading me that evening at coffee gallery about my suicide bag.
At a minimum, since people sporadically received duplicates hours later, this should have been part of some official public report, as this would indicate a notable technical malfunction. No such report exists.
