Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Yahoo have also issued the same message in recent times, seemingly without much kerfuffle on the internet.
It is related to the way they manage or use data, including metadata, they collect from emails. In the EU they are simply not allowed to do it without your permission.
Interestingly of course since the UK took back control they can rape user data from the UK with no issue.
I would hazard a wild guess, with no real evidence, that Yahoo's (Verizon's) late joining to the party is related to tracking pixels and their likely upcoming starring role in media headlines..
