Sorry, I’m not a Seinfeld aficionado. Thanks for the humor then, it’s appreciated if not picked up on.

I wished I saved it. I wished I remembered more about it.

Here’s the story about

https://www.cnet.com/news/yahoo-aol-oath-privacy-policy-verizon-emails-messages/

maybe the links in the story will take you where you need to go...

basically, when I got the message ( it just popped up in my browse..where I was I don’t remember )

They blah blah blahed me and asked me to agree...I kept going further into it and finally got to a page where i could turn off what they were would have collected, had I hit the “I agree” first.

A bunch of stupid people running Yahoo over the years...!

How did Yahoo! fall from $125 billion to $5 billion in 15 years?
https://www.zeebiz.com/companies/news-how-did-yahoo-fall-from-125-billion-to-5-billion-in-15-years-4200

Yahoo! had the opportunity to buy Google for a paltry $1 million in 1998.

The opportunity came back in 2002 but Google’s $5 billion price was too high for Yahoo!.

Reports suggest that in 2006, the company came very close to buying Facebook for $1 billion. The deal didn’t go through.
