This came up on a thread the other day, and I think a good counterpoint is emergency evacuation orders for the elderly. My mom doesn’t use a computer, cell phone, tablet, etc, and a robocall to her land line would be the only way to notify her.
I would definitely opt-in to those robocalls. I guess it's the difference between opt-in and opt-out for me, not that there aren't useful cases.
What does a (local) government alert have to do with marketing calls?
