While the news is interesting, it is not about technology at all. Just because Starbucks has an app does not make this technology related news.

The source is Android Authority and it appears to be referencing dark patterns in mobile apps

It’s about the intersection of their app, their rewards systems and the dark patterns in the whole system that lead to them accruing a lot of money that they don’t really deserve. That’s pretty much a tech story.
