I dislike Uber to the point where I do not use those services, but I have only some problem with what they are doing. In a very real sense, it is their platform to administer as they see fit. That includes sending notifications.
In that sense, why is a popup window so upsetting. Is the issue somehow related to voting ( as in, my company probably shouldn't send a mass email saying to vote for Trump/Biden ) that makes people so upset? That I could understand, but that does not appear to be a complaint here.
What am I missing here?
- lukeschlather 6y agoI think the CANSPAM act probably needs to be updated to include app notifications. If Uber sent this sort of thing as an email they would be legally obligated to include an unsubscribe link but they can just hijack your entire phone to send you unsolicited political messages at their discretion. It's obviously the sort of communication CANSPAM defines as spam, but it's via a notification rather than email.
