Also, hilarious that I can't even get ahold of your support chat to question this unless I agree to these terms beforehand.

Realising I also need to agree to the terms if I want to sign in and cancel my subscription

Can someone there give me an email for someone who can cancel my subscription without having to sign in and agree to these new terms first?

I'm pretty sure this is not legal in EU

I think at that point I'd mail a certified letter and cancel whatever card it's on.

That probably wouldn't work but one can dream.

I mean it probably would. Their only recourse would be to sue you.

And if you have a decent credit card, and a record of your attempts to contact them and cancel your subscription, they’ll likely take your side if you back charge then block them from your card.

What about sending a certified letter to the company in question stating they better reverse the idiotic decision or be prepared to face a lengthy prison sentence for it?

Wipe your system. Then it’s uninstalled.

Cancel your recurring payment. Then that’s done too.
