Stop emergency alert from government being forced onto all smart phones.

What the petition asks
This goes against our freedoms of choices and starting to lean towards a nanny state. We should have the choice to opt out of ALL alerts. Many people do not need this level of parenting from the government.
Consent of the people is vital in our society. We do not force people to do anything, that is not our countries way. We must respect people's choices. Not everyone has smart phones, not everyone needs emergency alerts, specially if you cannot consent to not being tracked, because how else will they know who is in what area to contact.
Why it was rejected
