Malicious advertising

This app uses malicious advertising tactics such as uncloseable videos with audio that isn’t silenced. Then they use frivolous excuses to send “breaking news” notifications. This forces users into these unskippable, uncloseable ads. Now the videos keep playing on top of everything even after the app is closed. Apple needs to remove this app for malicious content.
