Admins: We're working on the Beacon service that will proxy Push notifications, make sure you set a public contact email so we can message you when it's ready for your instance!
I've seen people mention that the Loops push notifications are dark patterns, and that is not my intention at all
I'm not encrypting the notifications and they can be collected by various parties (NSA, Apple, Google) so I didn't want to include any more metadata than I needed to
Does anyone know of a self-hostable, lightweight service that I can send a message to and it will reply with a push notification after a given date and time? 🤔
Sadly, notifications cannot be scheduled on-device in PWAs, they have to be pushed to the service worker by a server. 😅
Curious to see if there’s something like that out there before I build my own. 😊
#Privacy#PushNotifications#Google#Apple: "The privacy guarantees of push notifications are misaligned with other decisions previously taken by both Google and Apple. The connection between push tokens and user accounts is a serious privacy issue that should be addressed. The best way to do this would be for Google, Huawei, and Apple to improve their push notification infrastructure. Until then, app developers that provide apps that are being used by at-risk users should attempt to mitigate the risk or at least be more transparent about it."
Check out our blog post where we examine the push notification problem and address potential misconceptions!
In the wake of recent reports by @Reuters, @TechCrunch, @404mediaco, and others on #surveillance via push notifications, many people have been confused about reports about it and how it affects their own #privacy when using messengers anonymously.
#Cybersecurity#Privacy#Apple#PushNotifications: "Apple said it will no longer give over records of users’ push notifications to law enforcement unless the company receives a valid judge’s order.
In its law enforcement guidelines updated this week, Apple said law enforcement and government agencies can now obtain push notification records with a court order or a search warrant, both of which have to be approved by a judge.
Previously, Apple allowed police to obtain this information with a subpoena, which are issued by police departments and law enforcement agencies with no judicial oversight.
Apple’s change in how it handles demands for push notification data lands days after U.S. Senator Ron Wyden disclosed that Apple and Google can be “secretly compelled by governments” to hand over the contents of push notifications sent to customers’ phones."
