    Why is a critical service like disaster precention using an unreliable service like Twitter?

      It’s probably one of numerous ways they try and reach people. Wouldn’t be surprised if they have it set up to spam alerts out through various mechanisms including social media. It’s just that one platform is now complete dogshit. Maybe this failure will hasten Twitter’s decline in Japan.

      Why not? Wouldn’t you want information going out on every available service? They likely have info going out on Facebook as well.
