Why is there a "NEWS" Library on my Plex Android App now?

So can a plex member tell us if we will ever be allowed to turn it off in the future.

Yes, a plex employee already did say that. Although the wording was careful and mentioned “hide” rather then “disable” or even “remove”.

I wrote that. On October 5th I used the term hide in this comment. Later the same day I clarified by writing that users will be able to enable/disable the feature in this comment, which was a reply to you.

The full comment:

Happy to elaborate on the functionality. Since News is tied to a Plex account and not a server, users will be able to enable/disable it for their own accounts (Managed Users already have it disabled). Once disabled, the service will not interact with (or send data to) the client.

Then on October 10th I responded to a question on if disabling News will remove it from the user’s dashboard, in this comment. The answer is yes, disabling it will remove it from your dashboard.
