  > As with all of the other information these companies store for or about their users, because Apple and Google deliver push notification data, they can be secretly compelled by governments to hand over this information. https://www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/wyden_smartphone_push_notification_surveillance_letter.pdf https://www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/wyden_smartphone_...

    That doesn't say anything about without a warrant. Remember, Google required a judge to sign an order. Until this policy change Apple did not.

    "Secretly compelled" sounds illegal on the government side. In democracy if government wants to force you to do something they should go through official, due process, i.e. court warrant.

      > "Secretly compelled" We have a literal Secret Court in the U.S. for just this purpose. Everything done in there is and stays a secret.
