In this video I discuss how a recent DOJ letter revealed that Apple and Google were sending peoples push notifications to foreign governments.

    You’d expect nothing less from Signal, but there’s still metadata left that can be quite useful.

    They offer an alternative version for Android that uses a web socket, so not the best solution either, but oh well. I’d like to see them support UnifiedPush officially though. The Molly fork does, for instance.

    A lot more elegant than a web socket, and if more apps supported it, you’d have less apps all running their own service in the background. Well, speaking for a degoogled system, where this would matter a lot more.
