Apple and Meta Gave User Data to Hackers Who Used Forged Legal Requests
Apple Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc., the parent company of Facebook, provided customer data to hackers who masqueraded as law enforcement officials, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.

However, the emergency requests don’t require a court order.

Apple Confirms Governments Using Push Notifications to Surveil Users - MacRumors
Unidentified governments are surveilling smartphone users by tracking push notifications that move through Google's and Apple's servers, a US... In a letter to the Department of Justice, Senator Ron Wyden said foreign officials were demanding the data from the tech giants to track smartphones. The traffic flowing from apps that send push notifications put the companies "in a unique position to facilitate government surveillance of how users are using particular apps," Wyden said. He asked the Department of Justice to "repeal or modify any policies" that hindered public discussions of push notification spying.

User tracking technologies are ubiquitous on the web. In recent times web browsers try to fight abuses. This led to an arms race where new tracking and anti-tracking measures are being developed.

Smartphones With Popular Qualcomm Chip Secretly Share Private Information With US Chip-Maker
Smartphones With Popular Qualcomm Chip Secretly Share Private Information With US Chip-Maker
During our security research we found that smart phones with Qualcomm chip secretly send personal data to Qualcomm. This data is sent without user consent, unencrypted, and even when using a Google-free Android distribution. This is possible because the Qualcomm chipset itself sends the data, circumventing any potential Android operating system setting and protection mechanisms. Affected smart phones are Sony Xperia XA2 and likely the Fairphone and many more Android phones which use popular Qualcomm chips.
