There's no screenshot of the type of ads I'm going to get and the actions are not clear whether I'm "OK"ing acknowledgment or if I am enabling the ads. To an average user who doesn't want to read, I would expect them to just press OK because it seems like a standard first time user startup screen. Would "cancel" close the app? I wouldn't be surprised if most opt-ins were not truly intentional.
To me this is a dark pattern. The notification should have clearly asked "Would you like to enable caller ads?" and "Yes" or "No".
