A rapist mentality.
As with all these services, the "disagree" option is "stop using our devices and services" which really should be illegal when it's tied to hardware you already bought it and the terms changed after the fact.
I wonder how things would go if they made you agree to the terms before being allowed to purchase it.
People bring it to the till, and then just hand it back saying nope.
Most people would agree without reading like they do at home.
I bought an LG microwave a few months ago to replace a dead 10 year old Sharp. My favorite "features":
When I returned it they customer service person asked if I wanted it serviced under warranty -- hilarious. Bought a Panasonic instead.
It's our hardware so we should be able to select another provider or host our own. Not that I consider ad tracking a "service".
