I never quite understood this. Certainly you don't want to send an unencrypted notification message (“Matt says: here are the meeting times”) to Apple's notification servers. But do you really have to be that verbose? I'm not terribly concerned about the NSA logging “you have $n new messages!” notifications.
- DanBC 13y ago> I'm not terribly concerned about the NSA logging “you have $n new messages!” notifications. But you can appreciate that as part of risk assessment some people might have a valid reason to be concerned about leaking even that much information? GCHQ / NSA are good at finding patterns in data, so a collection of "You have $n new messages!" notifications can provide insight into the organization of a group.
- nthj 13y agoYes, I certainly understand. Most people wouldn't be concerned—and would be far more likely to use the technology if they could enable a feature like "You have $n new messages." I propose it as an option, not a default.
