If you ask someone if they killed your dog and they respond with a wall of text, then you’re immediately suspicious. You don’t even have to read it all.

The same is true of privacy policies. I’ve seen some companies have very short policies I could read in less than 30s, those companies are not suspicious.

That's true, because of the EU privacy regulation, because they make companies write a wall of text before doing smth. suspicious.

I do not disagree. It could indeed be made shorter than usual, especially if you are not malicious.
