Legal Limericks: Privacy

There once was a policy cheerful and long,
Insisting your data was safe, sound, and strong.
It said “We don’t spy,”
With a straight lawyer’s eye,
While doing it nightly, enthusiastically wrong.

The language was friendly, polite, and obtuse,
Designed to exhaust you, not actually choose.
You clicked “I agree,”
Out of pure misery,
And signed up your soul for analytical use.

So read every limerick, clause, footnote, and snare:
If it sounds reassuring, assume it’s a trap there.
Your privacy’s real,
Not a marketing feel—
If it rhymes and it lies, read it twice. Then glare.
