      It’s not really a backdoor. It’s an Emergency Broadcast System. Nobody can access your phone through it, they just blast data out to everyone in a preconfigured way that your phone knows to receive and relay to you.

      It’s not really any different than receiving a text message except that the text message comes with its own dedicated sound so that you know an emergency is happening.

      It’s not a backdoor. It’s a broadcast message system, like the emergency alert system used on television.
