Welcher QR-Code?

Klappt wohl nur mit „verseuchten“ Handys von Personen ohne Sinn für Privatsphäre.
Und welche Daten Google klauen will!
Ich finde einen anderen Weg.

わかりづらすぎる！

利用規約とプライバシーポリシーに同意します」のボタンがどこにあるかわかりづらい！めちゃくちゃ小さな丸いボタンがその文字の左にあって、見つけるのにマジで5分ぐらいかかったw 私が悪い部分もありますが、同意に躓くなんてこれが初めてですのでデザインが悪いと見ることができると思います…。
