So exactly what type of Emergency would affect the entire country at the same time, and necessitate an IMMEDIATE notification?
Short of a nuclear attack, solar flare, planetary zombie attack, or an asteroid striking earth, most emergencies are localized to a specific area.
Otherwise most nation wide information releases (disease, etc.) can be handled via the normal media.
So what exactly is the intended use for this alert?
Inquiring minds........
If they are claiming that the reason to read/inspect the contents of the Skype messages is to protect users from spam and fishing URLs, can they be held legally responsible if they fail in that? It's no longer a "common carrier" if you are taking such actions, is it?
