      News from around the world.

      This particular story isn’t very interesting (sorry!), but it’s not against policy.

        Not so interesting, but actually really important because a lot of people have secret phones and not knowing about this can give them away. Yeah, it was kinda funny how a bunch of Amish got caught with secret phones when that US did this same thing, but many folks in abusive situations trying to get out also have them, and it can be dangerous if those get discovered.

      They get to sleep through amber alerts that are sent to the wrong region with the wrong alert priority.
