Nope. I refuse. It has stopped asking me as of late, though.

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

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

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

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?

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.

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