    Why do you have notifications for “breaking news” turned on? Which app do you use? Sounds like a you problem

      The BBC news app.

      I have breaking news notifications turned on to give me notifications on breaking news.

          Well the alert came up. Then browsing Lemmy I see the same story so thought I’d comment and see if anyone felt the same. Clearly not. BBC articles don’t allow commenting any more either.

          The BBC has gotten silly with their breaking news notifications in recent weeks.

        BBC abuses the hell out of that feature. They’ve pinged phones for much less than this in the past.
