Well, most likely :fart
Seems as part of an “inconvenience package”, Verizon has packaged all this together :fart

For those of you involved, watch your email for this wonderful new experience :fart

Excerpt-

“In June 2017 Yahoo and AOL joined to become Oath, a digital and mobile media company and part of Verizon. As a Verizon Yahoo email user, we wanted to inform you that Yahoo has now updated its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Summaries of both are outlined below.”

“We’ve made it more readable! We took care to make it easier for you to understand our services and our privacy practices.
We’ve updated how we collect and use data. We’ve updated some of the ways we collect and analyze user data in order to deliver services, content, and relevant advertising to you and protect against abuse. This includes:
Analyzing content and information (including emails, instant messages, posts, photos, attachments, and other communications) when you use our services. This allows us to deliver, personalize and develop relevant features, content, advertising and services
Linking your activity on third-party sites and apps with information we have about you
Providing anonymized and aggregated reports to other parties regarding user trends
We’ve joined Verizon. By joining Verizon, Oath and its affiliates may share the information we receive among Verizon. Learn more about Verizon’s privacy practices.
New information regarding personalization. We’ve included new information explaining how we combine data among our services and across your devices and Oath accounts. This allows us to provide more personalized content and services.
We’ve updated user choices. We’ve provided additional information about your choices when using our services, and given you control in our Privacy Controls section.”

There are a number of “embedded” links that I haven’t checked for safety. Chatter on the web suggests that the Verizon group is (now) positioned to cut into Google’s ad revenue stream.

Just in case you were wondering.

After 25 years with AT&T I switched to T Mobile and so far so good but time will tell. IMHO they all suck as you hear the bad stories about every carrier..
So they swore an Oath to screw everyone over too?..:deal :stick :laugh
 
One thing I found interesting in the latest Facebook scams, err...their normal operation...is that even if you don't have a Facebook account, they still track you. All they need is one of those little icons on the page to share what you're seeing on Facebook. You don't have to click on the icon either. Just having it on the page is enough.
