ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The only remedy offered to users who object to policy changes is account deactivation, meaning continued use constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

Interpretive note: The clause uses 'you should' rather than 'you must', which is advisory rather than strictly obligatory language. The canonical claim uses 'requires' which may slightly overstate the mandatory nature; however, in context it is the only remedy offered, making it effectively the operative consequence of disagreement.
