Privacy: Don't let it go (our take on the ubiquitous song)

Information is shared around the world today

With a few data laws to be seen

One might wish for regulation

So do I, the Privacy Queen

Companies collect data like a swirling storm inside

Couldn’t keep them straight, heaven knows we’ve tried

Don’t let them in, don’t let them see

Be the private person you always want to be

Conceal, don’t reveal, don’t let them know

How much do they know?

Don’t let it go, don’t let it go

We can stop it furthermore

Don’t let it go, don’t let it go

Block cookies and slam the door

Someone should care

What they’re going to say

The argument rages on

Cause breaches don’t bother them anyway

It’s great how some countries protect personal data by law

And the companies that once controlled it can’t get to it at all

It’s time to see what we can do

To test the limits and break through

Do right, not wrong, pass data laws

For all

Don’t let it go, don’t let it go

Pass some laws and rules

Don’t let it go, don’t let it go

Scrap those data tools

Take a stand, the data stays

Let your rights rage on

Big data flurries through the web and into the ground

Information spirals in millions of bits all around

And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast

Data is rarely deleted – the past is never past

Don’t let it go, don’t let it go

New uses rise like the breaking of the dawn

Don’t let it go, don’t let it go

Once given, that data’s gone

Take a stand

In this big data reign

Should data brokers rage on?

Privacy never stopped them anyway
