Can someone explain why notification databases are stored for a long period of time? The article is behind a paywall.

I presume it's from here:

> Notification Center shows your notifications history, allowing you to scroll back and see what you've missed.

https://support.apple.com/en-ca/108781

Note that although Android has a similar "notification history" feature, it's disabled by default and requires opt-in.

Why would it keep the notification history after they’ve been dismissed, though? There’s no user-facing way (that I’m aware of) to access a history of dismissed notifications.

Does it, or did the defendant just not dismiss them? Maybe if you delete the app, the notifications aren't dismissed.

The article doesn't actually give a coherent answer on why.

People would generally claim "lazyness", as that is the Apple way. Why fix code when you can just sell new phones?

The actual answer is plausible deniability. Closed source software often leaks metadata in hard to discover ways so governments can deprive citizens of their rights under the law, and then claim "whoops, we didn't clean up correctly, our bad!".

Apple, like every other major tech company, goes along with it when nudged in the right direction.

To help the FBI et al

The answer to your question lies in Oracle 10K.

Wait, isn’t software engineering a solved problem?

Yes, that’s why they have such great up time. They don’t go down multiple times per day.

I have seen a lot of first posts on social media which have been wrong

This is exactly why I will never buy them at all again.

There's only one country in the world.

But I thought it was all for democracy and freedom.

Who told you that? It wasn’t Trump.

It was Trump.

Touché.

But silently watching on the sides. The moral lectures will come out with Ukraine though on what other countries should and should not do.

> The US will have ceded much of the moral high ground they claimed in avenging the slaughter of innocent protesters.

It will be forgotten soon.

> It will be forgotten soon.

it won't. Opposing US political side will weaponize this incident in their interests.

I hope you're right, and one day we don't read 20 or 30 years from now the biography of a terrorist, and it starts out with their experience being the sibling of a child injured at one of these schools.

In the US, but not in Iran and elsewhere.

Yeah, but that does not influence US politics.

I’d argue that Iran has a huge influence on US politics, as the US is currently at war with them.

The fate of Iranian civilians does not impact US politics.

A majority of Americans are completely unconcerned by the suffering of victims of the empire abroad.

the "concern" of US civilians in general is different from the result of their nations behaviours

Then you can just skip this submission and nobody will be the wiser.

There are people who like to read about submissions even if they don’t know who the people involved are.
