Is the Privacy Policy link broken? It just links to https://www.economicliberties.us

If you then navigate to the privacy policy on that site, it contains stuff like:

"For example, we may use remarketing with Google Analytics or other remarketing tools to advertise online. This enables third-party vendors, including Google, to show our ads on sites across the Internet...."

Looking at the site source, it uses both React (Facebook, complete with copyright notice), Google Analytics, Google CDN for jQuery, Google Fonts, and Youtube iframe for some reason.

Perhaps these are ironic inclusions meant to highlight how hard it is to live without Facebook and Google.

It's an election year. Breaking up tech monopolies polled well among millennials. This is a phishing net for contact information.

I doubt it. The probable story is that they outsourced their website to some 3rd party firm to build, since they're a policy organization not a tech organization. That 3rd party probably based the site off a pre-existing design of theirs that used those inclusions, rather than build a custom Mister-Gotcha-immune site.

When I click the link in the hamburger menu, I'm getting sent to https://www.openmarketsinstitute.org/privacy-policy/.

Edit 1: looks like they're affiliated: https://www.economicliberties.us/about/:

> The American Economic Liberties Project launched in February 2020 to help translate the intellectual victories of the anti-monopoly movement into momentum towards concrete, wide-ranging policy changes that begin to address today’s crisis of concentrated economic power.

> Economic Liberties is led by Sarah Miller, who served as the Deputy Director of the Open Markets Institute and has been recognized as “one of the primary architects of the modern antitrust movement.” As concern over concentrated economic power has broadened beyond the community of antitrust reformers, Economic Liberties has quickly grown into a hub for organizing a diverse set of leading policy experts and advocates in areas impacted by concentrated power, ranging from community development to national security to entrepreneurship.

Edit 2: it looks like their privacy policy (https://www.economicliberties.us/privacy-policy/) is boilerplate language that appears identically on by many, many other sites. For instance:
