California Highway Patrol

The California Highway Patrol faced problems with its emergency notification delivery when an Amber Alert push notification linked to their official X account, previously Twitter, which was unreachable without account login. This hindered the spread of critical information regarding a 14-year-old girl believed to have been abducted, possibly impacting timely aid and affecting local community awareness. Amidst the social media overhauls by Elon Musk, concerns had risen about Twitter's reliability for spreading emergency information; this incident highlighted the issues surrounding information accessibility during emergencies.
