Yes you can. Page down to the end of the page and then select I’ll do it later.

Eventually it let me. The first few times it just reloaded the page.

This kind of thing can permanently damage a company. Wouldn’t it be grand to see users stampede out of Yahoo!

Recall what happened to Smith and Wesson.

I’m not sure you’re approving or declining anything. Yahoo *is* scanning your mail. This is just a notice to inform you. Your not acknowledging it doesn’t stop them from scanning.

They’ve been scanning for some time. They just got caught at it and are trying to gracefully circumvent lawsuits.

All of my email goes through Yahoo! though I detest the site.

My sucky AT&T uses Yahoo to for their email. I don't look at their worse than the WaPo news. I wonder if this "Oath" crew will make it worse. Worse email and nastier "news?"

I think since it started....I’ve had to ‘click’ accept now about eight times. Whoever designed it...never tested it.

I am already mad at Yahoo. They foisted the New Yahoo on me after I had assiduously avoided it. One day it was just there and the option to return to the basic Yahoo is still there but is turned off. Yahoo removed the ability to change my password which I like to do every month or so. Is it all that they have got past the part about just making money and now have to shove their control in our faces?

Would anyone mind sharing where the, Accept or Decline, button is. I’m not seeing it. All the site does is take me to another page with more useless information.
