Russell Brandham senior reporter at the verge I've been getting all of these emails.

Yeah, I've been getting them too.

Subject lines always the same right we've updated our privacy policy.

I get them from websites I use from websites I never use from websites I forgot existed

and I always do the same thing.

I just delete them without reading them.

Am I making a terrible mistake?

No, I do that too.

I would say reading them would be a mistake because you'd be losing valuable seconds

all of our time as living creatures is precious.

Great because I'm going to make a terrible mistake now by reading you one of these emails.

Oh no, all of this, there's two.

We're all stuck in the middle.

I bet you.

Well, for the purpose of this episode or we explain what these mean, I feel like I should

maybe just read one.

So I went through all of the ones I have, which is about like eight from Kickstarter

and Google and I found the shortest one and it's from my former employer actually New

York Public Radio.

Dear friend, New York Public Radio is committed to respecting user and member privacy rights.

25th, 2018.
