This article gives a summary of those torts, including relevant case law. As a quick summary, the "appropriation" tort would limit a film's ability to use Tyson's photograph, but doesn't ...

So long as it’s factual. Or, if it isn’t factual, the untruths are not damaging to their reputation. Or, those untruths are so outrageous that nobody would believe them. Or, in most places, if they are dead.

No that's definitely not a good idea.
A privacy policy/terms document is supposed to reflect your situation:

It would be terribly risky for you to simply link another company's terms of service. What if they take their server down? What if they change their terms? You would not even know when exactly the changes were made.

Interception of messages renders them unable to be used as evidence. But the Encrochat system used end to end encryption, and the captured messages were in plain text and not decrypted by authorities.
Therefore the captured evidence data ...
