99% of the phones in the world are being tracked by all governments through push notifications. This was confirmed by a US senator, Ron Wydon. Agencies in foreign countries were “demanding” push notification records from the tech giants. Apple has confirmed they've given US and non-US governments this data.

Let's look at the problem and why we shouldn't allow this to continue.

This is the best for the algorithm... no need to read it (I've been told it's important / helpful)

    Been following you for like three years. You raise important issues and you're funny, not sure why you don't have more subs. Blaming the algorithm.

    Enjoyed the video🙌 Btw I'm not really sure if it is the best time to ask but, While watching the video I noticed a few opportunities to improve the video, I've prepared a short video outlining some tips. Mind if I sent it over?

    I feel like this video is slightly wrong in some places. You didn't mention, for example, that not having a middleman is very difficult on mobile phones. If your phone had to constantly maintain connections with hundreds of servers in the background your battery would die very quickly. In addition, you mentioned the UK govts emergency alerts test. This is Cell Broadcast, and is just SMS but with a bit of information saying "this is the government". SMS does not connect to the internet, but to cell towers. You implied that the government would have been able to gain data from this, but in reality unless tech giants made dedicated telemetry for this, it would be as useful as a radio tower for receiving data (not useful at all). Other than that, the rest of the video seems okay, but I would be careful in the future. Of course if you still think I'm wrong, I am open to being corrected in case I also said something stupid

    banana... and I'm curious about the comment about aggregated vs personal data. The video certainly implies that you're talking about private data...? Or I have the wrong end of the stick...?

    This is OLD news.
