Oh man, I wish they would stop showing the popup every time I exit a chat. When did it stop?

Still refusing. Can't drop it because my old relatives still use it

Same, I wonder why they stopped.

Implicit opt-in by continuation of use of the services.

You didn't even bother to read it did you?

No, why would I? I don't read whatever dreck Facebook wants to waste my time with, do you?

You are using their service. And you know they like it shady, if they can get away with it.

And they say, thay update their contract. Sounds like a reason for me, to read what it is about, or stop using it.

Which I did.

Wise choice. I still have family and some friends there, but at some point ..

I moved everyone to Signal, I just keep WhatsApp to inform the lone straggler that will contact me of the move.

At least in EU, implicit opt-in by use is not recognized and therefore such practice would be illegal.

So perhaps they only continue to nag the users they arbitrarily detect as in jurisdictions where it’s legal to hoist new terms like that?

And what. They get a fine. Pay it. And continue to do shady things.
