Nationwide Emergency Alert Inadvertently Reveals Secret Amish Cell Phones
October 13, 2023
Last week's test of the nationwide emergency alert system wound up causing something of a stir in an Ohio Amish community after it inadvertently revealed that some members were secretly in possession of cell phones. The odd turn of events reportedly came to light, ironically enough, by way of a TikTok video from a former member of the famously technologically averse order named Eli Yoder. He indicated that "over the years," he has secretly provided cell phones to "quite a few Amish men" who wished to be clandestinely connected to the outside world. The arrangement seemingly went swimmingly until last week when the federal government tested their national emergency alert system which blasted out a bulletin to everyone with such a device.
