Re: NDAA passed: Internet and Online Streaming Services Emergency Alert Study

What makes the most sense is the underlying OS does the work and not each individual app. 


The underlying OS gets these alerts from some aggregator that collects this information from all jurisdictions. 


Doing it at the app layer seems foolish.

How would that even work? Force a pop up into web traffic? What if the end users is using an app on a phone?
