I have zero Google services on my phone only microG. Does police still have access to my push notifications if they ask for it?
It’s not the services, it’s the push notification itself. It’s like a book, where the push notification is the cover, and the app is the pages. The government can’t open the book, but they are able to look at the cover all they want.
This is apples move towards putting a cover on top of the books cover… kinda. The metaphor breaks down when you get into what Apple is doing here to be honest.
gmsCore (microG) is an open source way of using Google Services.
You re-implemented Google Services (albeit open source instead of proprietary), from what I understand you're exactly as vulnerable as everyone else - But you have a giant "I'm trying to hide!" sign painted on your account.
