@teams.microsoft.com Ever since removing Copilot from the sidebar, I get spammed with this every day. Clearly someone on your design team does not understand consent.

Would you like to stop doing that?
[ Maybe later ] [ Fix now ]
A popup in Microsoft Teams encouraging the user to add Copilot Chat to the sidebar, with buttons "Pin now" and "Maybe later", but no button to permanently dismiss it.

Has any other open source #AndroidDev had this issue where Google Play verification incorrectly says you earn money from it and wants to publish your legal/home address? I did set up payment details just in case but never offered any paid products. Have emailed support, but meanwhile advice welcome!
Screenshot of Google Play's verification form including the phrase "Because you earn money on Google Play, your full legal address will be shown publicly". I've grumpily underlined that in red and written "Incorrect, I never have."
