[That-one-thing]

Do you have any source for this that I could look at?

I've found some reddit threads (in Portuguese):

This is not new. TMN/MEO subscription shit has been going on for more than 10 years, but before widespread mobile internet it looked more like a SMS fishing attempt to get you subscribed.

MEO is now a subsidiary of Altice, a French company.

I believe Altice bought Optimum/Cablevision earlier this year.
