Good thing I have push notifications off for fucking everything

The question is - are they off so they are not sent or are they off so you don't see them? Sorry for tinfoil

So I don't see em. Who needs em? Not me!

I think they are saying the notifications are still sent. They are going from the app servers to the push servers. From the push servers they COULD go to the Gov and to your phone. Your have the notifications turned off so they don't go to your phone. Doesn't mean they don't get sent elsewhere though
