The case was the first time authorities charged people for alleged “Antifa” activities after President Trump designated the umbrella term a terrorist organization.
If you don’t use Google Play Services, you don’t get push notifications, so yes. Libre reimplementations of Google Play Services such as Gapps etc. or alternative push notification providers do not circumvent this issue, except possibly self-hosted push notification providers. This approach is really rare though and limited generally to very few apps.
You might be getting pull notifications, that’s generally the workaround for push notifications being disabled - it generally increases battery usage because it forces the app to stay open in the background.
By not having Google Play Services, isn’t this prevented?

I don’t use Play Services and still get push notifications from Signal, so they’re clearly using an alternative implementation.

That would make sense.
Is this true if you don’t have Google Play Services but the person you’re messaging does? Is one person cutting GPS out enough?
The message you send them would probably go through as a push notification to them, but the message they send you wouldn’t.
