Mandatory use of AI on all consumer services and content
[edit | edit source]Yahoo! mandatory use of AI on all consumer services and content refers to Yahoo's 2025 Terms of Service update that requires users to consent to sharing their account data, including private email inbox contents, with third-party AI providers such as Microsoft Copilot & Anthropic Claude.[1] The only way to opt out is to close the account entirely. Users couldn't decline before the data was shared because the terms took effect upon continued use of the service.[1] Yahoo's properties reach nearly 250 million monthly visitors in the United States.[2]
