No, I did not. The fact that somebody somewhere wrote "You consent to ...." doesn't mean I actually consented.

- dangus 3y agoIf you went to the site and continued to use it, you consented. That’s how EULAs work. Your consent was given by the fact that you directed your browser to interact with the service continually, if that’s something that you did. You can’t say you didn’t consent to be searched if you walked into an airport. You can’t say you didn’t consent to be splashed with water if you got on the log flume ride. Your own ignorance or disagreement with the fact that you can get searched at an airport or wet on a lot flume ride isn’t really an excuse.
- scotty79 3y agoEULA is just a wishlist of a service or software provider. Nothing more unless it's upheld in court. And sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't: https://superuser.com/questions/30940/is-an-eula-enforceable#30959 https://superuser.com/questions/30940/is-an-eula-enforceable... Comparison to real world situations when the trigger is physical presence are not a good example exactly because they require physical presence, something unachievable in the virtual world of software and internet.
