Amish men ‘shunned’ after nationwide emergency alert outs them for having phones
The alarms – part of the US emergency alert drill that the government carried out on 4 October – drew the attention of the community elders in Ohio

Sufferers of domestic violence with hidden phones is a far more important issue.
Why can no one on social media hold more than one thought in there head at a time?
Indeed. Fucking red herrings...
I mean, a lot of Amish people probably meet that definition.
It really isn't. Well, okay, it actually is, but that more speaks to how pointless this issue was.
Much like with "We can't have online activation DRM, that isn't steam, because people are active duty military who are overseas!": Yes, there are people who are going to be negatively impacted by this. But they are very over emphasized and mostly used as a tool for those with other grievances.
Because if you have an emergency hidden phone? You turn that shit off when you aren't using it. You want to make sure the battery is still charged when you need it and you can't really leave it plugged in and go to sleep. Same with worries about low battery alerts, amber alerts, etc. Or even just it vibrating and making noise if a telemarketer calls.
Why would they leave it on????
