ok, I am admittedly very uninformed on this, but this point is brought up in every discussion of emergency alerts:
The lack of advance warning for the alert was criticised by charities and domestic abuse survivors, who said there was little chance to protect those hiding secret phones.
Is there any evidence that this is a thing? Or is this a purely hypothetical point..? How common really is it for victims to hide secret burner phones from a domestic abuser..?
Maybe I'm wrong and it is really common, but I just find that to be such a weak point and an unlikely scenario. I'm sure there are some small number of these, but the framing is often that these should be a primary consideration of the system design and use, when I just can't imagine that they're even very common to begin with. Feels like an appeal to emotion?
