I've benefited from those services in Japan, including during 3/11 disaster. They are deployed judiciously and at an appropriate scope. One never gets the sense that commercial motivation has anything to do with the alerts. Same can't be said of Facebook's feature as far as I can tell.
- rabboRubble 9y agoI'm not certain, but maybe the disaster boards are mandated by Japan's teleco law? IDK... I do recollect that the FB safety check was launched, in large part, because of the 3/11 disaster. Maybe for commercial reasons, but I do recall companies doing whatever they could to help the people of Japan at the time. https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2014/10/introducing-safety-check/ https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2014/10/introducing-safety-chec...
