Speaker A:

This is the Daily note from jamesabrown.net have you noticed how many companies say we take your privacy seriously right before asking you to agree to 47 pages of legal small print?

Speaker A:

It's like saying trust me while slowly backing you into some random gray van.

Speaker A:

We live in what used to be called the attention economy.

Speaker A:

Now today there's so much content that some say the true currency is trust.

Speaker A:

Trust doesn't come from slogans.

Speaker A:

It comes from receipts.

Speaker A:

Show me what data you collect and how do you use it.

Speaker A:

And can I say no and still be your customer?

Speaker A:

Brown and as always, be well.
