    How do those governments have access to this data? Is it not TLS encrypted?

      The article states that Apple recommends not putting any sensitive data in the payloads as well as encrypting the payloads

      This sounds a lot like a scenario where Apple informs that a mechanism used for standard mobile communication is being survived by governments not necessarily a scenario where something Apple or google are doing is inherently surveillance.

      Here it seems like the surveillance is occurring at the 3rd parties who send the push notifications.

    Good time to switch to an open source degoogled android ROM and set up your own push notification server.

    Until people stop giving up their freedom to these companies by agreeing to legal documents they don’t even read, it’s only going to get worse.
