Seems relevant:
A search warrant filed in California regarding a criminal theft case details how push notifications demands can be used to obtain information about a person. The search warrant, seen by TechCrunch, includes a section where an FBI special agent writes that when a user installs and downloads an app, the app directs their phone to obtain a push token, which is a unique identifier that allows Google to locate which device the app is installed on.
“After the applicable push notification service (e.g., Apple Push Notifications (APN) or Google Cloud Messaging) sends a Push Token to the device, the Token is then sent to the application, which in turn sends the Push Token to the application’s server/provider,” the record reads. Then, whenever a company sends a push notifications to a person’s device, it also sends Push Tokens.

i gotta put in the time to figure this one out...adding it to the list 😄
cool. yeah, governments can request data from any push notification service. it's not new news that govs can request messaging data. unified push it's not a panacea, but it's better. it is likely they are requesting push meta data to figure out the apps people are using so they can subpoena them and request actual data. be more concerned about the data your services collect. #grapheneos only uses graphene os services. sandboxed google play with fcm is optional on graphene
