Notes About The Poem

Politics and real business never mix that I have seen. Congress should research and pass laws if they want to interefere with business. Intelligent people will eventually put uncaring companies out of business by not using their services or products..

Facebook and the Senate

Facebook and the Senate
By Franklin Price
4/10/2018

Facebook and the Senate that I have seen today
Make it so apparent that the swamp intends to stay.
The self important Senators, who have shown up for the day,
Are grilling Facebook's  Zuckerberg in a misdirected way.

It's clear that they don't understand the way that Facebook works.
They huff and puff, but fail to hide, they're uneducated jerks.
Facebook forces no one to join the family.
To sign up without any charge, read and sign the privacy.

Set up any profile, that you want the world to see.
Be prepared for saturating ads. Facebook doesn't run for free.
Facebook doesn't sell your info. They don't have to, and here's why:
They direct ads demographically to users who will buy

Advertising's run this way, has been for countless days.
Facebook is no exception advertisers sing their praise
Some products you may feel and touch, some only for your mind.
No one's forcing you to buy them; the choice is yours, I think you'll find

Facebook is a company with programmers galore
Who can break down demographics, through software, AI and more.
No matter how hard Facebook tries, there are hackers at the door
Who can find out everything they do, find FB users by the score

If you don't want them to find you, don't be a user or a friend.
No matter what your efforts they will find you in the end.
I'm sure Facebook will do everything to keep you safe for now
They don't need some useless Senators to try to tell them how.
