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.
Yep but someone mentioned you can't opt out .
That has nothing to do with whether something is a backdoor.
