And condoms are only 98% effective.
Your analogy doesn’t make sense. It would be more apt to say “condoms from Walmart can be compromised!” but it makes no sense because they can be compromised anywhere. If you think shopping somewhere else means they won’t be compromised, that’s not logical.
It’s not to say that you shouldn’t use them, it’s to say that you shouldn’t judge them based on the geographical location they’re acquired.
It’s not on the same level. Android at least provides the option of using an alternative notification system, and also supports downloading apps from anywhere. Including places that don’t require an account.
Then don’t claim the reasoning is anonymity.
they can monitor who connects to what.
They can also not do that.
We should assume anything in the US is compromised by the fed
International VPNs are not immune from US subpoena.
Send & Receive alerts about ICE raids and activity in your area. Stop ICE Alerts Network works with technology already built into your phone without the need to download an app.
This is the way.
Have you not seen all the people whose legal latina wives have been abducted off the street, shoved into packed prisons and then shipped off to some random country?
Not really crazy. Make a threat or incite violence on any platform or any medium in just about any country and you can expect consequences.
It’s not gone, it’s just currently not available in your country or region.
He who saves his Country does not violate any Law
Websites don’t support push notifications in a way that normies understand. They’re also generally unreliable. And these are time-sensitive matters.
I am the biggest Apple hater and they are absolutely not immune from criticism, but they are generally a more private company. The CCP has their hands deep in every corporation on the planet so none of them are immune from that influence. Apple pushed back when the government demanded they dismantle encryption (Google doesn’t even offer this) for CSAM. They were also the first to disclose the government push notification collection information.
Not in the US, which is really the only place this app is applicable at the moment.
In the US it’s a very small majority.
They’re using the cops’ favorite and extremely generic catch-all crime: “obstruction of justice”.
I’m not sure if this guy is just dumb or it’s a honeypot.
As mentioned elsewhere, they don’t use device ID
Android is the only platform that supports alternative push methods
Apple knows everyone who downloads this app, which is subject to subpoena
The gov has been collecting push notification data from both Apple and Google for a long time. It would be as simple as knowing when notifications went out and then comparing timestamps to figure out who is using the app.
The app is closed-source
It would take significantly more mental energy on the part of the user but it would be far safer (which is extremely important in this specific case, as the dev agrees) to distribute through F-Droid and then use some other UnifiedPush implementation, as many Android apps already do. Anyone using this app is painting a huge target on their backs for the current authoritarian state.
Yep, and that will be it’s downfall, because Apple will take it down and there’s no way to install it without their rubber stamp.
“He’s giving a message to criminals where our federal officers are, and he cannot do that, and we are looking at it, we are looking at him, and he better watch out,” Bondi said. “Because that is not protected speech, that is threatening the lives of our law enforcement officers throughout this country, and shame on CNN!”
Why can’t he do that, Pammy?
Gotta say Aaron is a bold motherfucker.
I mean they could do away with Apple Store fees altogether and still be unfathomably profitable.
I’ll check that out, thanks
Lots of people do.
That’s not what it says.
There has to be a way for Google/Apple to know which device to send the notif to.
