MODERATORS
Why are there no comments, and no real reactions to this here? At the moment there’s more traction around some rando thief story.
The source declined to identify the foreign governments involved in making the requests but described them as democracies allied to the United States.
_The source said they did not know how long such information had been gathered in that way.
Most users give push notifications little thought, but they have occasionally attracted attention from technologists because of the difficulty of deploying them without sending data to Google or Apple._
Earlier this year French developer David Libeau said users and developers were often unaware of how their apps emitted data to the U.S. tech giants via push notifications, calling them "a privacy nightmare."_
Good question. I guess people are just lost for words
