@plink@socialmedia@palestine@israel I don’t click Facebook links as a matter of principle. Your post sounds a bit clickbaity tbh. A bit more context than „the shocking truth“ would be helpful.
I turned off both "background data usage" and "rub in background" on #facebook app on #android and yet still I get notifications about posts I don't even care about 😒
@0xZogG Most Android applications don't create their own connection to some app server for notifications. That would mean 20+ open sockets and constant data. Even without notifications e.g. by TCP keepalive packets. Not so good for mobile plans in many countries.
Instead Google offers a way to signal them a "there is something for you" via just one connections to all apps. I won't contain the actual data, but just "something is for you".
That way apps like Signal get notified, get out of background state, use their secure (?) method over their own socket to get the real data, and go back to sleep again.
That's btw the reason these apps use MORE battery if they run on some un-googled Android. Because then they regularly awake.
Die Menschen lassen sich gerne betrügen und wenn die es mal "lösen", dann werden sie als Profis uns Spezies dargestellt. Ne, die sind es auf keinen Fall!

J'aurais pu répondre bêtement #DeleteFacebook mais je vais me contenter de te souhaiter bien du courage dans cette aventure qui risque d'être extrêmement désagréable. Force à toi !
