According to Wyden, many app users do not realize that these instant alerts "aren't sent directly from the app provider to users’ smartphones" but instead "pass through a kind of digital post office run by the phone's operating system provider" to "ensure timely and efficient delivery of notifications."
GrapheneOS may be vulnerable to this too.

Nah, the internet is good. Giving too much control to governments and corporations was and is a mistake.
