Usually the 10 page agreement that nobody reads will include terms that allow them to do whatever they want.
You do consent by mindlessly ticking off that box at the registration process.
This is materially different I would argue
Though yes I understand that TOS that nobody reads has every content saying they can do whatever they want.
You agree to allow them to use your data for open ended purposes.
It shady, but legal

Because fuck us, that's why.
I think it does. I was able to check the opt out setting from the app and it was already on. I don't remember turning it on, so it might be default? I did update the app prior, so you might need to do that first.
It defaults to opt-out ONLY if you have already told it to prevent other forms of scraping, such as search engines. Otherwise you are opted in by default.
Such surprise, they get money now
