This controversy went viral instantly, and many
intimations o’ privacy per se were extirpated in
th’ way a mass of personal data was obtained,
analysed and clandestinely used t’ sway public
opinion; so we’re again victims - & vanquished
in a scene of demeaning commercial treachery:
We’ve a long way to go back, almost a lifetime -
t’ reconnect with those early Facebook dreams
2004 was the year & Menlo Park the origin of a
new online social & networking media; it began
at Harvard College, they called it the Facebook,
after a name taken off of those sheets of paper
profiling students & staff distributed t’ freshmen
at commencement of each new University year,
and grew quickly into Boston’s higher education
institutions, Ivy League, and Stanford University
then in 2006, anyone who claimed t’ be at least
13 could become a registered user; well whoee
we see rueful Mark Zuckerberg’s face testimony
t’ his $62 billion net worth, while we try to erase
data that we’d seen as privileged to our Family
