Senator Ron Wyden has made a crazy-sounding claim that governments are spying on people’s iPhone push notifications — and Apple says thank you, we weren’t allowed to tell anyone.
The claim is that governments can glean information from how many push notifications a person gets, and from what apps

Senator’s paranoia opens door for Apple to speak out on government censorship.
