Glyph on Nostr: The LG ThinQ iOS app abuses their notifications channel to push unsolicited marketing ...
The LG ThinQ iOS app abuses their notifications channel to push unsolicited marketing in the same channel that they use to push transactional updates (i.e. sign up to get notifications for "your washer is done, put clothes in the dryer" and instead get "here are some great deals on shows you can buy on your smart TV!")
This is probably technically legal but it *feels* like it should be a crime. Is there any way to get them in trouble with Apple for this?
