Macrumors 68020.

  • Apr 4, 2019

Hi, I was sitting here wondering how come MacRumors doesn't serve me notifications to news stories. Despite having Safari allowing for websites to serve me notifications there simple aren't any. Not from anywhere because no website serves me any. Is this a common problem for any one of you Safari users like myself? Any solutions at hand? I read that in the latest Safari release notes it's described as the Web Notifications requires a user interaction. What is this particular user interaction? I'm tired in my arm from waving and quite frankly tired of staring into my webcam whilst blinking. macOS Mojave 10.14.4 and Safari Version 12.1 (14607.1.40.1.4)

Maybe you need to re-subscribe to notifications for Safari to accept them (on the site, so e.g. go to Resubscribe Now )?

I had the same issue and this is what fixed it for me: Go to System Preferences > Privacy > Enable Location Services. Tick the Safari checkbox. Restart Safari. Go to Safari Preferences > Notifications. Select 'Allow' in the drop-down menu for Macrumours. Restart Safari. Resubscribe to Push Notifications. MacOS Mojave 10.14.1 on my 2015 15" MacBook Pro

I'm having the same problem as well :/  

  • Aug 20, 2019

@JennaDee123 I have a thought that goes something along the lines that Apple has changed the method within Safari for allowing notifications and some websites hasn't kept up(including this one) AppleInsider is another website that I know was giving me an option to show some news stories in Notification Center. Perhaps I ought to ask in the MacRumors Site Suggestions thread about this.

And as of right now, night time where I live, MacRumors' Front Page displays a notice about needing permission to allow notifications and after following the link = success.  

How to enable Safari push notifications on iPhone or iPad

iOS 16.4 lets you optionally receive Safari push notifications, but the process isn't straightforward.

Back in 2022, Apple promised to introduce a long-overdue feature in 2023: Safari push notification support on newer versions of iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 . And the day has finally come.

If you have a recent iPhone , such as the iPhone 14 Pro Max , or an iPad running version 16.4 or later, you can follow the steps below to enable Safari push notifications for specific websites. By doing so, you will receive alerts similar to those of native iOS apps, helping you know when your favorite websites publish timely content.

  • Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad running iOS/iPadOS 16.4 or later.
  • Scroll down and navigate to Safari.
  • You will find a Push API toggle at the bottom of the list. Make sure it's enabled.
  • Now launch the Safari app and visit the website you'd like to receive push notifications from. Note that the website has to support push notifications for this feature to work. For demonstration purposes, we will be choosing Twitter.
  • Tap on the Share button in the middle of the bottom bar
  • Optionally rename the web app, then tap Add in the top right corner.
  • It will now appear on your Home Screen as a native app. Launch the newly-added web app.
  • Find the website's notifications settings and enable push notifications.

Now, the web app will be able to notify you as long as you keep it on your Home Screen. If you delete it, then the permission is revoked automatically, and you won't be able to receive alerts from it until you add it again.

As you can see, the process to enable Safari push notifications on iOS and iPadOS is more complex when compared to macOS because you need to add the web app to the Home Screen for it to work. On new Macs , you can just allow or deny website permissions without needing to bookmark it in any way. Regardless, it can be done now on newer versions of iOS 16.

Safari Push Notifications

Use the Apple Push Notifications Service to send notifications to your website users, right on their Mac desktop — even when Safari isn’t running. Safari Push Notifications work just like push notifications for apps. They display your website icon and notification text, which users can click to go right to your website.

Safari Push Notifications: Everything you need to know

Safari push notifications work the same way as app push notifications. They display your website […]

Web push notifications for Safari were introduced in OS X Maverick. The Apple Push Notification Service is used to send precise and clickable messages to your website users on their Mac desktop, even when the Safari browser is not running. Safari push notifications work the same way as app push notifications. They display your website icon and notification text, which users can click to go straight to your website.

An important point to note is that push notifications can be sent to Safari on a Mac rather than an iPhone. But don’t worry, there is an alternative.

There are two types of website notification:

  • Safari Push Notifications , an Apple-exclusive technology that is triggered remotely via the Apple Push Notification Service (APNs). These are delivered to customers when Safari is not open.
  • Local notifications , set by a W3C standard and triggered locally using JavaScript. These can lead to notifications being displayed as long as the website is in an open tab.

This article is essentially about the Safari push notifications.

To integrate push notifications into your website, you first present a user interface through which the user can register to receive notifications. If the user agrees, Safari will contact your website and request their credentials in the form of a file called a push package. The push package also contains notification resources that are used in OS X and data that is used to communicate with a web service that you have configured. If the push packet is valid, you will be given a unique identifier for the user on the device, known as a device token. The user receives the notification when you send the combination of this device token and your message or payload to APNs.

After receiving the notification, the user can click on it to open a webpage of their choice in Safari.

Managing notifications: deactivation

Wondering how to stop notifications in Safari? By default, users visiting websites that have Safari push notifications enabled see a banner at the top of the window the first time they visit the website. Here, the user can choose whether notifications should be allowed from the website. These notifications appear as the default notifications for the Notification Center when the page publishes new content or manually sends a notification, including the appearance of a banner in the upper right corner of the screen and an entry in the Notification Center.

Web notifications look and work like any other notification. Its appearance can be adjusted by the user in the system settings so that it is displayed as a temporary banner that disappears by itself, or as a warning that must be clicked to close.

The user can also turn off notifications across the service or system using “Do Not Disturb”, a feature introduced in iOS 6 that appears in OS X Mavericks on the Mac. As on mobile devices, users can set “Do Not Disturb” to turn off incoming notifications for a specified period of time, for example when the screen is asleep or during presentations.

What you should know about push notifications from Apple

With the opening of the App Store in 2008, Apple announced that it would set up a central push notification service with which apps can react to updates from external services without having to remain active in the background, constantly “listening” and using the battery.

However, Apple grossly underestimated the overwhelming demand for apps and push notifications, kicking the company back to the drawing board after a stress test beta program involving the Associated Press and other app developers, and delayed rolling out push notifications on iOS 3.0.

In 2010, Apple brought push notifications to the Mac as an API, first to support FaceTime notifications and then more generally as a public API in OS X Lion 2011.

You can easily choose whether you want notifications to appear as banners, warnings, or not at all. You can also view them on the lock screen and control how many recent items are shown in the Safari Notification Center.

Tutorial: How to Send Web Push Notifications in iOS Safari

iOS Notification

A live demo can be found at ios-push-notifications-main-adamjberg.engram.sh . If you need a quick and easy way to deploy a website, check out engram .

The final code for this tutorial can be found here .

The day is finally here. Web push for web apps on iOS and iPadOS will be made available in iOS 16.4. If you are impatient like me, you can get access to the iOS 16.4 Beta by signing up for the Apple Beta Software Program . iOS 16.4 is expected to be released in March 2023, so you shouldn’t have to wait much longer to get access to this newly added functionality.

Apple didn’t provide a whole lot of information as to how to actually get this working, so I’ve gone through the effort of figuring it out put together the smallest example possible to get going. The first part covers creating a notification using the Notification API exclusively from the client side. The next section will build off of that and show how to trigger a notification from a backend nodejs server.

Client Side Notifications

We start with a very basic html page to load up our script and manifest files and a button that will trigger the notification permission request. Safari requires user interaction in order to request this permission.

site.webmanifest

The notifications only work when your website is added to a user’s home screen. This webmanifest file is a basic start that you can fill in with the required details for your application. If you have an icon you’d like to use, you can use this favicon generator to create the required icon sizes and web manifest file.

First we register a service worker (this is required by iOS Safari to send notifications). Then we set up a click listener on the subscribe button. On click, we request permission to send the user notifications. If the user grants access, we can immediately test the notification by calling registration.showNotification .

Create serviceworker.js File

It can be completely empty for now. Just needs to exist in order to meet the service worker requirements.

Testing This on Your Device

Enabling the notifications feature in ios 16.4 safari beta.

I struggled for a while to figure out why these notifications weren’t working. While this is in beta, it seems like Notifications are turned off in Safari by default. You can enable them by going to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Experimental Features. Scroll down to “Notifications” and turn the toggle to on if it is not already on. I suspect this will be defaulted to on when iOS 16.4 is officially released, but if you are trying this out with the beta, it is likely you will need to perform this step.

HTTPS Connection

Testing this on a real device requires an https connection. You will need to deploy your code in some way that allows it to be accessed from your phone with an https connection.

You can find a live example running here . Pressing the subscribe button won’t do anything if you just have the page opened from your browser. You will first need to click the share button and then “Add to Home Screen”. Open the app that now shows on your home screen and press the subscribe button. The app will ask for permission to send notifications and once granted immediately send the test notification.

Server Side Push Notifications

Create express application, install required dependencies, generate vapid keys.

This will generate something like:

Create .env File

Copy the public and private keys and paste them in a .env file. The web-push also requires an email address, so add this as well.

I’ve boiled this down to the bare minimum, but it is likely you will have some concept of a database and need to store subscriptions specific to users, etc. This basic API allows the client side to subscribe to notifications by POSTing to /save-subscription and then a notification can be triggered by making a GET request to /send-notification .

Update index.js

Update serviceworker.js.

Finally we add an event listener in the service worker to detect when a message has been pushed. We pull off the title and body and call the same showNotification function used above.

This announcement is a big step for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) on iOS. Notifications were probably the number one cited reason companies reached for a native application. Despite the plethora of news articles about this announcement, I couldn’t find a single up to date resource on how to actually implement this. So hopefully the time I spent putting this together saves you some time on the topic.

How to Manage Website Push Notifications in Safari for OS X

Control which notifications you receive from websites

safari push notifications not working

What to Know

  • In the Safari menu, select Preferences > Websites . Choose Notifications in the left pane.
  • Use the menu next to any website that has requested permission to send notifications to allow or deny the request.
  • Clear the box next to Allow websites to ask for permission to send push notifications to prevent sites from asking permission.

This article explains how to manage website push notifications in Safari for OS X. It includes information on viewing notification-related settings in the Notification Center . This information applies to Safari 9.x and above on Mac OS X.

Change the Safari Permissions

A website must ask your permission before it can push notifications to your desktop, usually as a pop-up question when you visit the site. While useful, these notifications can prove unwieldy and intrusive.

Here's how to deny or allow permissions for push notifications:

Go to the Safari menu and select Preferences .

Select Websites .

Click Notifications in the left menu pane.

The right side of the window contains a list of the sites that asked for permission to send you notifications. Use the menu to the right to either allow or deny those requests.

The  Allow websites to ask for permission to send push notifications option is enabled by default. This option allows websites to ask you if you want notifications, usually when you first visit their site. To disable this option and prevent sites from asking permission to show alerts, clear the check box.

To reset a site's permissions, select it and click Remove . The next time you visit the URL, it asks for permission again, assuming you left the previous option active.

Change Notification Settings

To view more notification-related settings in the Notification Center:

Open System Preferences either by clicking its icon in the Dock or selecting it from the Finder's Apple menu.

Click Notifications .

Select  Safari  from the list of applications in the left menu pane.

Notification preferences specific to the browser appear on the right side of the window. To turn off all notifications, turn off the Allow Notifications from Safari toggle switch.

The Safari alert style section contains three options, each accompanied by an image.

  • None : Disables Safari alerts from displaying on the desktop while keeping notifications active in the Notification Center.
  • Banners : Informs you when a new push notification is available.
  • Alerts : Notifies you and includes relevant buttons. Alerts stay on the screen until you dismiss them.

Below this section are five more settings, each accompanied by a check box and enabled by default. These settings are as follows:

  • Show notifications on lock screen : When enabled, push notifications generated by your allowed websites display when your Mac is locked.
  • Show notification preview : Specify whether macOS shows previews (which contain more detail about the alert) always or only when the computer is unlocked.
  • Show in Notification Center : Leave this option on to see alerts you might have missed by opening the Notification Center in the upper-right corner of the Finder.
  • Badge app icon : When enabled, the number of Safari alerts to be viewed displays in a red circle overlaying the browser's icon on the Dock.
  • Play sound for notifications : When enabled, an audio alert plays each time you receive a notification.

iOS 16.4 will let web apps on your homescreen send push notifications

I’ll probably be turning them off, but at least they’ll be an option..

By Jay Peters , a news editor who writes about technology, video games, and virtual worlds. He’s submitted several accepted emoji proposals to the Unicode Consortium.

Share this story

A screenshot of a web app push notification on iOS.

Apple’s new iOS and iPadOS 16.4 betas will let Safari web apps on your homescreen send you push notifications, according to a new post on the WebKit blog .

As far back as the first iPhone, you’ve been able to add a shortcut to websites to your homescreen represented as app-like icons, but the web apps haven’t been able to send you notifications or show notification badges. With iOS and iPadOS 16.4, however, that will change.

Here’s how the push notifications will work, according to the blog post by Brady Eidson and Jen Simmons — though it sounds a lot like how they work with native apps already:

A web app that has been added to the Home Screen can request permission to receive push notifications as long as that request is in response to direct user interaction — such as tapping on a ‘subscribe’ button provided by the web app. iOS or iPadOS will prompt the user to give the web app permission to send notifications. The user can then manage those permissions per web app in Notifications Settings — just like any other app on iPhone and iPad. The notifications from web apps work exactly like notifications from other apps. They show on the Lock Screen, in Notification Center, and on a paired Apple Watch.

Web apps will also be able to set a notification badge count, according to the blog, and the notifications will support Focus modes, too. And if you have multiple versions of a web app on your homescreen, they can have different settings, which might be useful to help separate personal and work use, for example. I’m personally glad we can manage the notifications on a per-web-app basis; that should make it a lot easier to keep them under control.

These web push notification changes were actually promised quite a long time ago, as Apple first announced web push notifications were on the way back at WWDC 2022 in June . That said, like on desktop, I don’t think I’ll be turning on any web push notifications — I already have turned most of my notifications for native apps off.

It’s not just Safari that’s getting some web app improvements: starting with iOS and iPadOS 16.4, you can save websites and apps from third-party browsers to your homescreen, too.

iOS Push Notifications on Web Is Now Live With iOS 16.4

Last updated on apr 18, 2023.

As promised in WWDC in June 2022, Apple has come up with the much awaited support for web push notifications on iOS . Starting iOS 16.4 , websites are now able to start sending iOS push notifications, not only on Safari, but also to other browsers such as Chrome and Firefox. This opens up new opportunities for publishers to engage their users and serve relevant content updates to their readers who use iPhones. 

How Does This Announcement Impact Publishers?

Apple has been reluctant from the very beginning to open up its walled garden until recently, when they showed willingness to embrace a more open and inclusive ecosystem. That wait ended up lasting for over 7 years! 

In 2015, Google Chrome was the first to roll out the web push notification API. This enabled developers, marketers, and publishers to reach out to users via the Chrome browser. Eventually, Android smartphone users also opened up as a base of new visitors.

Publishers who relied on push notifications were also able to build engaging audiences with better content consumption. After tasting success with Android, developers awaited a similar move by Apple, which wasn’t fruitful, up until now.

The support for iOS push notifications is a significant win for publishers who have longed for a way to reach their iPhone and iPad users with the same level of ease and immediacy that they can with Android users. Publishers will be able to convert their iOS users into subscribers and engage with them effectively. All of this without having to build an app. 

The availability of web push notifications on iOS means that publishers can now reach an even wider audience, making it a vital part of any publisher's marketing strategy. The increased reach also means that publishers can monetize their content more effectively, as they can now engage with iOS users as effectively as they can with Android users.

Building On OS X Push Notifications

Apple has been supporting push notifications on OS X via the Apple Push Notification Service (APNS). Developers also use APNS to deliver a notification to iOS devices. What has now changed is Apple will be rolling out support for service workers to show notifications. 

Also Read: All You Need To Know About iOS Push Notifications

Developers could still deliver notifications on Safari via APNS to an OS X device. But doing so involves a cumbersome process including generating a Safari certificate. Most push notification service providers extended support for push notifications on Safari for macOS. This wasn’t possible on iOS. 

Apple’s support for web push notification standards, as adopted by other browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge, will simplify work for developers. Developers can now start building an audience on iOS without any additional effort. This will not even require an Apple Developer account.

How Does Push Notification Opt-In Work For iOS?

Apple has always prioritized user experience. Its approach to push notifications is no different. The process of getting users to subscribe is slightly different on iOS. To ensure iOS users are not inundated with subscription pop-ups, users need to add your website to their iOS home screen, showing intent. This can be done by creating a shortcut for the web page using the ‘Add to Home Screen’ button in the share screen.

IMG_4417

With this, you can then trigger the prompt at a user action such as tapping on a ‘subscribe’ button. Once readers subscribe, the notifications will then be shown in iOS Notification Center and Lock Screen. The user can always revoke changes for a web app in the Notification Settings.

How Can Publishers Get Started With iOS Web Push Notifications? 

Support for iOS web push notifications is now released. In markets such as the US with a dominant share of iPhone users, native support for push notifications helps publishers tap into mobile users and offer a consistent experience. 

Website owners will now be able to reach even more users with their push notification campaigns, and iPhone users will have access to timely and relevant information from their favorite websites with iOS 16.4.

Apple/iOS Push Notifications Specifics: Everything You Need to Know

Reaching iOS users is quite a challenge for marketers and publishers. Indeed, Apple has strict policies regarding ads, and it has been only three years since the company actually allowed promotional content in push notifications. 

Still, this audience is of marketers’ and brands’ interest. Not only because Apple can boast of a significant user base and every quality scaling is a good idea, but also because iOS users are known as an affluent audience. 

Today, we are going to discuss iOS push notifications and find out how to find a way to their owners’ screens.

Push notifications in iOS: mechanics

Talking about push for mobile devices globally, the lion’s share of them operate on either Google’s Android or Apple’s iOS mobile platforms, facilitating push notifications through either Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) push notification service or Apple’s own Apple Push Notification Service (APNs).

The key demarcation between FCM and APNs is FCM’s versatile cross-platform capability. It’s the tool that bridges the gap, allowing you to communicate with both Android and iOS devices, as well as extend your reach to the web.

notix-push-across-devices

Learn more about push for different devices

As for the web push notifications for iOS, well, they also require user permission for subscription. The notifications from web apps (aka browsers) work the same as notifications from other apps. They show on the Lock Screen, in Notification Center, and on a paired Apple Watch.

Till the latest time, this was the only way for publishers and advertisers to reach their iOS audience via browsers, but now the entire marketing world is waiting for Safari to enable push ads (we’ll talk about this in the further section). 

At Notix, in order for your site to send push opt-in requests, you need to ask users to add site to their home screen or even automate the process and then ask for permissions. 

And here is how a user interaction with push on iOS happens…

Securing permission for push notifications

Before users start getting push notifications on iOS, they see an opt-in request that offers them to either subscribe or decline them.

Furthermore, from their own side, users can tailor the notification settings to their liking. They can specify whether they prefer a visual pop-up or an auditory signal when a notification arrives. Additionally, they can decide if they want an icon badge to appear, or if they desire more granular control, including options for emergency notifications, preliminary alerts, etc.

notix-ios-ipados-push-banner

More about iOS and iPadOS specifics

The range of options encompasses the following:

  • Alert: This sends attention-grabbing pop-up notifications.
  • Sound: It delivers notifications with a distinct auditory alert. 
  • Badge: This results in the classic “red dot” emblem on the icon, signaling the number of unread notifications.
  • Critical Alert: Designed for emergencies, these notifications breach even the Do Not Disturb mode but require special authorization from Apple.
  • Provisional: These notifications discretely land in the Notification Center without sound or other conspicuous alerts.

Push message iOS: piece by piece

iOS push notifications can be divided into two primary components: visual and configurational. 

  • Title: The message’s headline.
  • Subtitle: A secondary snippet that adds context.
  • Body: The main content of the message.
  • Icon : Illustration for your message.

Notix_iOS_push_explained

Configurational: 

  • Sound: The tone played on the recipient’s device when the message is delivered, which can be customized.
  • Badge: The iconic “red dot” affixed to the notification, indicating unread messages.
  • Attachments: These can include media files such as videos, images, or GIFs, stored on the user’s device.
  • Category: This feature introduces action buttons, permitting user interaction with the notification or its associated media via Notification Service Extension or Notification Content Extension actions. These buttons become accessible when the user swipes or long-presses the notification.

New feature to keep in mind: Interruption Level

Starting with iOS 15, a new feature named Interruption Level influences the way notifications on iOS are managed:

  • Active: For high-priority notifications, the system delivers them instantly, turning on the device screen and playing a sound.
  • Critical: This level parallels Active but persists even in Do Not Disturb mode.
  • Passive: A subtle addition to the notification bar, without screen illumination or sound activation.
  • Time Sensitive: Notifications within this category are delivered with urgency, illuminating the device screen and producing a sound, but subject to the user’s notification settings.
  • Thread-ID: This feature permits the assignment of a unique ID to each notification, facilitating grouping based on specific threads. For instance, informational messages appear at the top, while promotional content is organized separately below.

iOS in-app push notifications demystified

In-app notifications can be:

1. Local notifications: app’s reminders

Local notifications originate within the app, away from the online. For in-app advertising, you can schedule them as precise reminders, either tied to a specific time or a geographic location. However, securing the user’s consent to dispatch local notifications is a prerequisite.

notix-web-vs-inapp-push-banner

Difference between in-app and web push

For instance, you can notify users that it’s been two days since they last logged their weight or that today is a friend’s birthday. The versatility of local notifications extends to shopping prompts as users stroll by their favorite store.

2. Remote push notifications: real-time information

These notifications are the emissaries of third-party services, conveyed to users through the APNs. However, be prepared for a brief interval between dispatch and delivery. Remote push notifications are instrumental in delivering real-time information.

Such notifications come from games, cleaners, eCommerce apps, and more. As for the web notifications, well, they come from a browser, so they are pretty similar to advertising banners.

Sending in-app push notifications: The ABCs

To send remote push notifications, you must acquire a registration token. The APNs relies on this unique address, a device token, which binds the device to your app. As your app launches, it engages with the APNs to procure this token, which you then relay to your server. With this token, you can dispatch notifications through your server, a third-party service, or Firebase Cloud Messaging.

Activating and updating notifications

Local notifications adhere to rigid schedules based on date, time, or location. In contrast, remote notifications offer dynamic automation, personalization, and targeting, relying on behavioral triggers and custom audience segments. They adapt to the user’s multifaceted journey. 

Exploring advanced remote notifications

Remote push notifications come in two intriguing variations:

  • Provisional messages: a subtle introduction

These messages don’t disturb by sound or intrusive banners. They silently beckon users to either dismiss or embrace them. You can choose to deliver them prominently, replicating standard notifications, or continue delivering quietly, preserving the tranquility.

  • Silent push notifications: an invisible hand

These notifications slip onto the Notification Center without causing a stir. Their role is more profound—they awaken your app from slumber, enabling background tasks and updates.

Enriched media: expanding the horizon of iOS push notifications

In the universe of iOS push notifications, there are wide capabilities regarding rich media to send. Those are with images, videos, and GIFs.

Notix-convince-users-to-subscribe-banner

Need more tricks on how to make your push clickable?

To unleash the power of enriched media in push notifications, you’ll need to acquaint yourself with two indispensable extensions: Service Extension and Content Extension.

These extensions are like mini-applications that intervene at the moment a push notification takes flight, augmenting it with media content before it graces the user’s screen. The synergy of these extensions brings life to your messages.

Content extensions are your creative playground. They enable you to infuse push notifications with custom colors, branding elements, and dynamic media. Imagine shifting from mundane text notifications to immersive carousels, complete with multiple images, titles, subtitles, and interactive buttons. Each notification can be a unique experience, sporting its own descriptive text and deep links.

A glimpse into iOS 16: the future of iOS push

The landscape of iOS notifications is evolving, with iOS 16 introducing novel facets:

  • Lock screen customization: tailored notifications

Users can now shape how notifications grace their lock screens. Three distinct formats – quantity, stack, and list – offer different perspectives on notifications. This is a game-changer, accessible via “Settings” → “Notifications” → “Display as.”

  • Live activities: real-time insights

Live Activities, anticipated by the end of 2022, introduced “live” push notifications. Developers can now create custom banners on the lock screen that offer real-time information, whether it’s tracking a taxi’s arrival or monitoring a live sports match.

  • Safari: the new era of push notifications

Safari, Apple’s web browser, is embracing push notifications in 2023. This is a significant development, as Safari currently lacks push notifications for web apps. It opens new possibilities, allowing web-based services to stay connected with users effectively, even when their apps are removed from the App Store.

The era of browser notifications for Apple devices brings newfound potential, especially for devices with limited memory, ensuring access to essential web resources without compromising functionality or memory space.

Push notifications rapidly evolve from mere text alerts into immersive and interactive messages. In addition to the customizable look, push notifications, whether local or remote, have become indispensable tools for engaging users in real time. Understanding the mechanics of these notifications is crucial for marketers and publishers, especially with iOS 16 on the horizon, promising new levels of customization and real-time insights. 

As technology continues to advance, the potential of push notifications only grows, promising a future of even more valuable user interactions. And if you don’t have this technology in your marketing arsenal yet, well, it’s high time to join Notix and embrace a larger pool of opportunities!

WINNIPEG – The Supreme Court of Canada has decided not to hear an appeal by several churches that fought Manitoba’s COVID-19 restrictions.

Lawyers for the churches argued public health orders in 2020 and 2021 that temporarily closed in-person religious services, then permitted them with caps on attendance, violated the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

They lost that argument in two lower courts.

The Manitoba Court of Appeal ruled last year the restrictions were necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and allowable under the Charter.

The Supreme Court of Canada, as per its usual practice, did not disclose details as to why it has decided not to hear the case.

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, a Calgary-based legal advocacy group that worked with the churches, says it is disappointed with the high court’s decision.

Supreme Court to hear free speech case over government pressure on social media sites to remove content

By Melissa Quinn

March 16, 2024 / 7:00 AM EDT / CBS News

Washington — The Supreme Court on Monday will be weighing whether the government crossed a constitutional line into censorship of lawful speech when it pressured social media platforms to take down content it deemed misleading.

The case poses a significant test of the First Amendment's free speech protections in the digital age and stems from the Biden administration's efforts to pressure social media platforms to remove content that it said spread falsehoods about the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 presidential election. 

The Supreme Court is set to consider at what point the federal government's attempts to protect against misinformation on social media cross into censorship of speech that is constitutionally protected.

"The key free speech issue is how far can the government go in verbally arm-twisting private speech intermediaries to remove speech before that constitutes a First Amendment violation or state action," said Clay Calvert, a law professor at the University of Florida who is an expert in the First Amendment.

In addition to the social media case, known as Murthy v. Missouri, the Supreme Court on Monday will also hear a dispute over whether a New York financial regulator violated the National Rifle Association's free speech rights when she pressured banks and insurance companies in the state to sever ties with the gun rights group.

At the core of both cases is so-called jawboning, or informal pressure by the government on an intermediary to take certain actions that will suppress speech. In the first dispute, the intermediaries are the platforms, and in the second case, the intermediaries are insurance companies.

"In both cases, the government doesn't actually have the power to regulate speech or to decide whether the NRA can access banking institutions or not," said Will Duffield, a policy analyst at the libertarian Cato Institute, adding that "the government is seemingly gaining, gathering, usurping new powers by leaning on these intermediaries in order to do things that it isn't authorized to do itself." 

The social media case

The first legal battle before the court arose out of the Biden administration's efforts to pressure platforms including Twitter, now known as X, YouTube and Facebook, to take down posts about COVID-19 and the 2020 election that it believed spread misinformation.

The dispute was brought by five social media users and two states, Louisiana and Missouri, who claimed their speech was stifled when platforms removed or downgraded their posts after strong-arming by officials in the White House, Centers for Disease Control, FBI and Department of Homeland Security.

facebook-meta-x-twitter-1614381147.jpg

The challengers claimed that at the heart of the legal battle lies a "massive, sprawling federal 'Censorship Enterprise'" through which federal officials communicated with social media platforms with the goal of pressuring them to censor and suppress speech they disfavored.

A federal district judge in Louisiana found that seven groups of Biden administration officials violated the First Amendment because they transformed the platforms' content-moderation decisions into state action by "coercing" or "significantly encouraging" their activities. U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty limited the types of communications agencies and their employees could have with the platforms, but included several carve-outs.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit then determined that certain White House officials and the FBI violated free speech rights when they coerced and significantly encouraged platforms to suppress content related to COVID-19 vaccines and the election. It narrowed the scope of the district court's order but said federal employees could not "coerce or significantly encourage" a platform's content-moderation decisions.

The Justice Department appealed to the Supreme Court, and the justices agreed to decide whether the Biden administration impermissibly worked to suppress speech on Facebook, YouTube and X. The high court temporarily paused the lower court's order limiting Biden administration officials' contact with social media companies.

In filings with the court, the Biden administration argued that the social media users and states lack legal standing to even bring the case, but said officials must be free "to inform, to persuade, and to criticize."

"The court imposed unprecedented limits on the ability of the president's closest aides to speak about matters of public concern, on the FBI's ability to address threats to the nation's security, and on CDC's ability to relay public-health information," Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, who represents the government before the Supreme Court, said.

She argued that senior Biden administration officials were using the bully pulpit to push social media companies to address falsehoods on their platforms, which has never been a free speech violation. As long as the government is seeking to inform and persuade, and not compel, Prelogar wrote, its speech does not run afoul of the First Amendment.

"Influence is also the natural result of successful efforts to inform, to persuade, or to criticize," Prelogar wrote. "That the platforms often acted in response to the government's communications thus does not remotely show that those communications were coercive."

But state officials behind the challenge told the court that accepting the Justice Department's argument would make the First Amendment "the easiest right to violate."

White House officials, they said, frequently coupled private demands for social media companies to remove posts with public references to adverse consequences they could initiate, such as antitrust reforms or changes to the law that protect platforms from civil liability over content posted by third parties.

"By silencing speakers and entire viewpoints across social-media platforms, defendants systematically injure plaintiffs' ability to participate in free online discourse," state officials from Louisiana and Missouri wrote .

The legal fight is one of five that the justices are weighing in their current term that stand at the intersection of the right to free speech and social media. But in this case, the key question for the justices is whether the Biden administration was engaging in permissible persuasion or unlawful coercion when it urged social media platforms to suppress content. 

"It's going to have to define those rules about what speech is allowed and what's not, how far can the government go before it violates the First Amendment rights of the individuals who are posting on the speech intermediaries," Calvert said.

The Biden administration has said it is vital for federal officials to be able to communicate with social media companies on issues of public consequence, and using strong or critical language does not mean it's crossing a constitutional line. 

But David Greene, civil liberties director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said U.S. officials will not lose their ability to combat misinformation or disinformation. The government, though, has a responsibility to ensure people don't perceive it as forcing their hands, he said.

"There are two main issues, and that is what do courts look at to determine whether and at what point a government crosses the line from voicing its opinion about how a social media platform should treat a specific post to unconstitutionally coercing the censorship, the negative moderation of that post," he said. "There's no disagreement that there is a point at which it becomes unconstitutional, but what the parties disagree on is what is that line and what is the appropriate analysis for setting that line, what factors to consider?"

Any cases that present close calls should go against the government, Greene said, because officials are "best placed to moderate their behavior to make sure it's not interpreted as coercive."

The NRA's legal battle

In the second case, the court will consider whether the former superintendent of the New York State Department of Financial Services violated the NRA's free speech rights when she pushed regulated insurance companies and banks to stop doing business with the group.

Superintendent Maria Vullo, who left her post in 2019, had been investigating since 2017 two insurers involved in NRA-endorsed affinity programs, Chubb and Lockton, and determined they violated state insurance law. The investigation found that a third, Lloyd's of London, underwrote similar unlawful insurance products for the NRA.

In April 2018, after the Parkland shooting, Vullo issued guidance letters that urged regulated entities "to continue evaluating and managing their risks, including reputational risks" that may arise from their dealings with the NRA or similar gun rights groups.

Later that year, the Department of Financial Services entered into consent decrees with the three insurance companies that worked with the NRA. As part of the agreements, the insurers admitted they provided some unlawful NRA-supported programs and agreed to stop providing the policies to New York residents. 

Vigil for Remembrance and Change

The NRA then sued the department, alleging that Vullo privately threatened insurers with enforcement action if they continued working with the group and created a system of "informal censorship" that was designed to suppress its speech, in violation of the First Amendment.

A federal district court sided with the NRA, finding that the group sufficiently alleged that Vullo's actions "could be interpreted as a veiled threat to regulated industries to disassociate with the NRA or risk DFS enforcement action."

But a federal appeals court disagreed and determined that the guidance letters and a press release couldn't "reasonably be construed as being unconstitutionally threatening or coercive," because they "were written in an even-handed, nonthreatening tone" and used words intended to persuade, not intimidate.

The NRA appealed the decision to the Supreme Court, which agreed to consider whether Vullo violated the group's free speech rights when she urged financial entities to sever their ties with it.

"Allowing unpopular speech to form the basis for adverse regulatory action under the guise of 'reputational risk,' as Vullo attempted here, would gut a core pillar of the First Amendment," the group, which is represented in part by the American Civil Liberties Union, told the court in a filing .

The NRA argued that Vullo "openly targeted the NRA for its political speech and used her extensive regulatory authority over a trillion-dollar industry to pressure the institutions she oversaw into blacklisting the organization."

"In the main, she succeeded," the organization wrote. "But in doing so, she violated the First Amendment principle that government regulators cannot abuse their authority to target disfavored speakers for punishment."

Vullo, though, told the court that the insurance products the NRA was offering its members were unlawful, and noted that the NRA itself signed a consent order with the department after Vullo left office after it found the group was marketing insurance producers without the proper license from the state.

"Accepting the NRA's arguments would set an exceptionally dangerous precedent," lawyers for the state wrote in a Supreme Court brief. "The NRA's arguments would encourage damages suits like this one and deter public officials from enforcing the law — even against entities like the NRA that committed serious violations."

The NRA, they claimed, is asking the Supreme Court to give it "favored status because it espouses a controversial view," and the group has never claimed that it was unable to exercise its free speech rights.

A decision from the Supreme Court in both cases is expected by the end of June.
