What parameters are they using to block non-SD devices?

It's not gone, it's just currently not available in your country or region.

Websites don't support push notifications in a way that normies understand. They're also generally unreliable. And these are time-sensitive matters.

I am the biggest Apple hater and they are absolutely not immune from criticism, but they are generally a more private company. The CCP has their hands deep in every corporation on the planet so none of them are immune from that influence. Apple pushed back when the government demanded they dismantle encryption (Google doesn't even offer this) for CSAM. They were also the first to disclose the government push notification collection information.

Not in the US, which is really the only place this app is applicable at the moment.

In the US it's a very small majority.

They already are

They're using the cops' favorite and extremely generic catch-all crime: "obstruction of justice".

I'm not sure if this guy is just dumb or it's a honeypot.

1. As mentioned elsewhere, they don't use device ID
2. Android is the only platform that supports alternative push methods
3. Apple knows everyone who downloads this app, which is subject to subpoena
4. The gov has been collecting push notification data from both Apple and Google for a long time. It would be as simple as knowing when notifications went out and then comparing timestamps to figure out who is using the app.
5. The app is closed-source

It would take significantly more mental energy on the part of the user but it would be far safer (which is extremely important in this specific case, as the dev agrees) to distribute through F-Droid and then use some other UnifiedPush implementation, as many Android apps already do. Anyone using this app is painting a huge target on their backs for the current authoritarian state.

I can't. No votes is the next best thing.

Only a few months really

I'm not and your tone is completely unnecessary so maybe dial it back a bit.

Yes, VC funding can be profitable. It's also often not. Like any other investment. Corporations will absolutely lie and blow smoke up their ass if they think it can get them more money.

Yes, because those are all equivalent situations

FFS, it was years ago, no one is claiming him as "our guy", and he's an extremely influential person so just take the win.

Yep, and that will be it's downfall, because Apple will take it down and there's no way to install it without their rubber stamp.

“He’s giving a message to criminals where our federal officers are, and he cannot do that, and we are looking at it, we are looking at him, and he better watch out,” Bondi said. “Because that is not protected speech, that is threatening the lives of our law enforcement officers throughout this country, and shame on CNN!”

Why can't he do that, Pammy?

Gotta say Aaron is a bold motherfucker.

I agree!

I want to upvote and downvote you simultaneously.
