Villanelle Made in Nineteen Eighty-four

Oh, I was teased by nineteen eighty-four.
When the TV listened to all I said.
I didn't realize there was a backdoor.

Come on in the bright Utopian door!
You're part of a long bright Internet thread.
Oh, you're appeased by nineteen eighty-four.

We'll travel the Internet forevermore.
Our Bot's on a social media thread.
It didn't realize there was a back door.

Beings strive to attain good credit scores.
TVs, radios, and phones hear your head.
We have been seized by nineteen eighty-four.

Digital eyes will lurk forevermore.
Secrets will not be easily shredded.
Bots know there is information galore.

Nineteen eighty-four thrives forevermore.
Years ago, its mighty code was embedded.
Oh, we were pleased by nineteen eighty-four! 
We didn't realize there was an entry door.
