As far as legal arguments go, I imagine their first counter would be that you agreed to the update, so it's on you.

A forced update or continual loop of "yes" or "later" is not consent. The fact that there is no "No" option shows that.

Fabricated or fake consent, or worse, forced automated updates, indicates that the company is the owner and exerting ownership-level control. Thus the sale was fraudulently conducted as a sale but is really an indefinite rental.
