Would be great to see an example of notification metadata that can supposedly link it to real users.
Seems like this is what is being implied:
Given:
- users with notifications enabled
- have X app installed
- targeted user(s) reside in USA
- targeted users(s) following “foo” on X app
When:
- issue FISA warrant for all smartphone users that received notifications in regards to “foo” user
Then:
- able to pull all Apple/Google accounts that match this criteria
- able to get real addresses and names
- can crosscheck names with other details to narrow down suspect
Or maybe it’s something even worse where notifications somehow leak location data
