Plea To Innocence

That incensed palaver over Cambridge Analytica’s 

source of info isn’t misplaced, and it’s hardly likely 

to change ways we seek t’ manipulate means and 

gain advantage; targeted ‘normative’ data’s easily 

gathered - it is end-usage-intent which slams that 

gate on what’s considered reasonable. Tho’ using 

undisclosed information sources, now claimed as 

private property of Facebook users, and less their 

knowledge and consent, suggests we’re entering 

a new era of malfeasance. I suppose it is where a 

cookie’s crumble rests with least dissonance that 

we’ll see who’s who; not that we didn’t know and 

without revealing our preferences even further be 

gainsaid the need of making a plea to innocence
