Anyone else got this? Has been in my Yahoo mail since Wednesday. And since then, I did not have notifications that I had new emails. It is not my main email so did not miss anything.
Dear Member,
In June 2017, Yahoo and AOL joined forces to create Oath, a media and technology company with a dynamic house of global brands, and a part of Verizon. Its an exciting venture that we believe will bring a host of new innovations and digital experiences for our users. With Verizon, Oath can provide you with better experiences and services.
As part of this collaboration, were asking all users of Oath owned sites and services to agree to the new unified Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which will help us continue to deliver and build on great digital experiences for you.
Please take some time to review and agree to the new unified Terms of Service and Privacy Policy by clicking on the button below. If you have already agreed, no additional action is needed.
Terms of Service Updates Summary
Weve added a mutual arbitration clause. Hopefully, disputes will never be an issue, but in the case of one, this allows a third-party arbitrator to help us resolve them. Weve also added a class action waiver. These provisions are an important part of our relationship with you, so please read them carefully.
Weve specified the legal entity that provides each service to you. For some services, this may be a different entity than the entity that previously provided the service. Weve also reserved the right to transfer the providing entity for each service in the future.
General provisions that apply to billing, auto-renewal, and refunds have been added. Unless the additional terms for a service override the Terms of Service, these provisions apply to your use of our paid services.
Applicability of Terms. If you are using our services on behalf of another account owner (e.g., as an administrator, consultant or analyst) or on behalf of a company, business or other entity, the Terms of Service apply to your activities and are binding on the account owner or entity.
Indemnity for Non-Personal Use. If you are using our Services on behalf of a company, business or other entity, or if you are using our Services for commercial purposes, weve added an indemnity provision, which requires you and the entity to protect us against certain legal actions.
Weve updated our choice of law and forum provisions. New York law now governs and New York, New York is the designated forum.

(32,002 posts)Yahoo and AOL now owned by Verizon. They need a new 'TOS'.
When you signed up with either AOL or Yahoo you signed a TOS. This is just an update, and not spam. I'm pretty sure Hotmail had me do something like that when it turned into an outlook 'entity'.
Here's the landing page for Oath: https://www.oath.com/

(9,115 posts)Noticed a flash bit.ly loading, and a bunch of yahoo.net cookies that came up on that oath page.
I have not accepted those terms of service privacy policy updates, which came up when I looked at the security cert.
Oath is yahoo + aol + verizon bellatlantic.
Clicked forward and backwards until my mail came up without me hitting the 'remind me later' button on the 'oath' page.
