I also don’t appreciate that apparently my opinion doesn’t matter, since “I’m not a resident of the EU” is a required field.

Which it of course is because they want to get past common sense EU regulations restricting their ability to infest people’s devices with malware.

    I hate to tell you, but answering that poll was absolutely not worth the consent to spam you.

    That “I’m not a resident of the EU” forced tick-box is a huge red-flag, and should already have you clicking away from that page.

      I love to tell you, but I am aware of all that, which is why I’m happy to report that I followed your advice before getting it.

      I’m efficient like that 😁

        Good to hear - from your post it looked like you were reporting the aftermath of clicking through all that, which sounded plan unfortunate
