I agree. Why do we even call it a "privacy policy"? It's more of a waiver.

Well sure, but if naming something more accurately causes people to reject it because it sounds really bad, I don't think the issue is with the naming.

I fully agree and wasn't trying to justify the enforcement of long obtuse contracts that support the degradation of privacy.

because it’s their policy on user privacy? the name makes perfect sense.
