In this brief dialogue, the speakers note that many websites display generic privacy policies that contain placeholder text like "privacy policy, insert company here" or reference another company's name. They attribute this to sites copying policies from elsewhere without proper customization, and they express curiosity about who authored the original privacy policy that became the template for such widespread copying.

I've gone on websites before and it's privacy policy, insert company here, or some other company that's not their company.
Yeah, yeah.
Because they just copied it off somebody else's website.
I really, I genuinely think 10 years ago that was the industry standard. I want to know who was the number one attorney to write the first privacy policy, because I'm pretty sure everything else was a derivative from there.
