I feel that if it had links spammers would somehow take advantage of this somehow.

  It's an Amber Alert. Do you reckon spammers are working for the police now?

    What you can't imagine, "Amber Alert, this stock is about to go through the roof <some penny stock>"

      No, I can't. The Emergency Broadcast System isn't often misused that way either.

        Not currently. Every system has exploitable flaws though.

    What? That escalated quickly! I'm not saying that. I'm obviously not aware of the technical details of how the system works but I'm saying if there were links, I could see this becoming a target for spammers to exploit to use for personal gain.
