What doesn't fit here?

The core of the story has to be technology focused.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

2. Use original linkPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

I really wish articles like this made it more clear that this was under government orders.

Google probably knows my cat's last name and date of birth. And its probably sending data to "them" about my cat.

I hate these stupid clickbait titles aimed at making the company out to be the bad guy, when the truth is that the government “requested” (read: ordered) them to hand over the data.

Read it this way: Apple had data to share so when government asked for it they complied.

This is why Simplex Chat still doesn't have push notifications

You can have notifications that doesn't use proprietary servers. At least on Google side. https://unifiedpush.org/
