My wife, who is a “Slate Plus” subscriber over at Slate, received this email today: When she shared it with me, I observed an obvious, immediate red flag: the email does not say what was changed in the new policy, or offer a link to something the recipient can read to find out what has changed. This is always a bad sign, which means one of two things: either the company changing its privacy policy doesn’t want you to know what has changed, or they have no idea themselves what has changed so they can’t tell you. After carefully reviewing Slate’s new privacy policy, I think it’s almost certainly the latter. The new policy was obviously created by incompetent clowns, and I doubt they could tell readers what the effective changes are even if they wanted to. I don’t know what Slate’s generative AI policy is, but honestly I suspect that if they’d run the policy through generative AI and told the AI to clean it up, they would have ended up with something better than what they ended up…
