Why are so many companies updating their privacy policy lately, I noticed many companies including reddit and some games I play updating their privacy policies? Why is that, is it just a coincidence or something big happened?

Mostly so that they can sell your data on to third parties, or use your data to train AI of their own.

Also adding arbitration clauses to stop you from suing.

Damn ,the world keeps getting worse, but why all at once was there a recent legal thing that made them go for it?

EU digital markets act has a lot to do with it and privacy laws that went along with it.

Others mentioned A.I and data-collection however, you also have to think about all the different laws around the world, if a new law conflicts with their TOS they gotta update it to stay compliant.
