Apple Gets Hit with Privacy Suit: A Poem

Twas the week after Christmas and all through the land, millions of folks were making merry with iPads in their hands. In their pockets were iPhones, both fresh from the box. This Christmas was the best, they shouted, it really does rock!

But off in the distance they heard a small sound, the noise of a lawsuit slapping Apple around! They’re stealing our info, the lawsuit did shout. Leaving folks all to wonder what the fuss was about.

It’s the apps, said the lawsuit, they’re selling us out, they’re smashing our privacy of that there’s no doubt. Our names and locations, age, gender and more, if the app companies want it, we should show them the door! Apple can’t be allowed to sell our info this way, without our consent and without giving us pay. It’s our information and we want it kept quiet, so the court needs to stop them so no one can buy it!

Privacy is important says the lawyers from New York, whether you’re Joe the Plumber or that singer named Bjork. So now the court must decide as we broach the new year, whether Apple is liable for harshing our cheer. The lawyers, they claim, it’s about protecting our rights, but I say it’s a billion dollar settlement that they’ve got in their sights.
