Would you like to upgrade to windows 11? You said no so I'll offer it again on the very next screen and give no way to turn off the nag

Would you like to login to your own computer with an online microsoft account - again no way to turn off the nag

Want to exit Teams or Onedrive? nag

And both m$ an google (via chrome) are scanning your computer for executables - for your safety of course!

Sadly I see similar behaviour from Apple on iOS.

When they change the terms of iCloud use the options are agree or the passive aggressive “Maybe be latter”.

That really means we’ll keep asking you until you agree.

Any company using the phrase “maybe latter” instead of “no” is not one you can trust.

To be honest, ToS is a bit different thing. You have no right to use services without accepting it at some point.

Surely, we should be able to reject and turn off the service though if the terms change? i.e. "I don't and agree and don't want this."
