The case was the first time authorities charged people for alleged “Antifa” activities after President Trump designated the umbrella term a terrorist organization.
What’s the purpose of keeping a history of seen notifications in a database? That shit should be being automatically purged if it needs to exist to show it, after its been dismissed.
I wonder if this revelation will trigger a change in how it works, since apple has often tried to do things securely?
My android shows a history of notifications. Not sure what the retention period is. It does add conveniece by allowing me to check dismissed notifications. It allows some monitoring about the type, content, and frequency of notifications as well as control to block them.
It certainly now appears the convenience isn’t worth the loss of privacy, though.
Once in a while I get a notification that, for one reason or another, doesn’t actually bring me to the content it was supposed to link to and instead brings me to the main page of an app, and sometimes it’s difficult or impossible to find where the link was supposed to go
But going in through the notification history, the second try usually takes me where it was supposed to go
Apple has gone out of their way to fuck with the government trying to get data from people phones, I really don’t think this was something done on purpose to help them.
The data has to be stored somewhere to be shown, so a temporary spot existing isn’t a surprise. It almost sounds more like lazy developers not thinking the government could access the history that only gets purged after X amount of time, instead of continually being pruned.

Ive had that issue as well, deeplinks can be fickle creatures if the app isnt perfectly set up and youre potentially in a spot it fails in.
Control.

No way, it’s for the data collection.
They dont want to share it, that’s right, but it’s very much not done by accident.
