I recieved this email today. I don’t use twitch, only made an account once for some specific purpose. I don’t know these people and I’m a 100% certain they don’t know me. This is just toxic marketing to lure me back in.

      Didn’t know that. Can you tell me who is supposed to enforce this and where is the law from?

      When you accept the ToS I always understood that I was signing in for emails, just like (in my experience) 100% of other services/sites like Spotify, Proton, Bandcamp, eBay, Facebook, X, GitHub… well I’m not gonna list every single one but you get me.

      Still, thank you for educating me.

        It’s EU’s GDPR.

        Anything like a newsletter or marketing must be opt-in. And it cannot be bundled with other consent, that is they can’t refuse to provide you a service if opt-in isn’t absolutely necessary.

        To be honest, not sure if any other countries have such laws.
