TRACKED! <\/p>\n

Now once you are in their grid,
\nIt is so very difficult to get out,
\nEven if you decide to do that,
\nThey know what you’re about.<\/p>\n

Your life has been infiltrated,
\nOn every device that you use,
\nHow they track all your data,
\nCan really give you the blues.<\/p>\n

From your cell phone to iPad,
\nOr desktop to MacBook Pro,
\nThey have collected your info,
\nOh more than you even know.<\/p>\n

From secret apps they install,
\nTo web browser cookies too,
\nThey have a pretty good idea,
\nOf just about all that you do.<\/p>\n

Oh yes they have your profile,
\nStored in a hidden database,
\nFrom your actions on the web,
\nTo a recent photo of your face.<\/p>\n

Now, of course, they’ll deny it,
\nAnd claim it simply is not true,
\nBut if you had all their power,
\nYou’d be tempted to do it too.<\/p>\n

So go ahead & call me crazy,
\nSay I am paranoid to the max,
\nBut I dare you to try to prove,
\nThese aren’t the honest facts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
