Apple admits to secretly giving governments push notification data - Ars Technica
There are a lot things that are hidden to public, until they are accidentally revealed, and then they are FORCED to admit it. They have many many layers of obscurity where some parts being secure relies upon and could have intentional backdoors.
Take a look at article above, you could have the most “secure™” app, OS and protocols but if the company running the OS is funneling data to the government, your cult like loyalty doesn’t mean shit.
They’ll never admit to anything and can just call everything else an inadvertent bug. And people will eat it up, and the cult will defend it like their personality depends on it.
You’ll probably blow it off as a conspiracy theory or “apple bad” or whatever else but if you’ve kept up with cyber security, government leaks and developments in surveillance technology, this is how spying works.
A harmless traffic camera becomes a surveillance terminal. If you still choose to believe it’s still just a traffic camera, you do you.
Anyone handling (incredibly insecure! This cannot be understated!) push notifications can be secretly compelled by force of law to hand them over. That’s not unique to Apple or ios.
To bring that all the way back to what I said, that the claim “ios hardening is a myth” is not true: you can turn off push notifications in ios. Because of the nature of the technology there are other controls around it that are not part of the receiving devices operating system and need to be handled separately.
If you haven’t already, disable push notifications.
I think there’s a fundamental lack of understanding amongst people in general about the purpose of our networks. The Internet, like cable television and broadcast tv and radio before it, is a propaganda and surveillance technology overlaid on military command and control.
