   More details emerging on the push notification spying by US.

   Apple guidelines now say that US law enforcement can obtain the Apple ID associated with a push notification token via a subpoena. You can use this to build a picture of who is talking to who with which devices and apps. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/12/06/push-notifications-surveillance-apple-google/

     Massive story coming from this one later - thank you for Senator Wyden for blowing this up. Apple, follow through with public disclosure so this doesn't get lost.

     Part of the US (and other) governments spy worldwide using push notifications. That popup telling you your friend messaged on that super secure encrypted messaging app? Yeahhhhh.
