After Googling herself and being mortifyingly embarrassed at some of the things she’s said and done over the years… Stella is demanding the return of her data footprint. And she’s not doing it quietly.

Song: P.R.I.V.A.C.Y

Music credit: Dolly Parton

My Facebook page is six years old and knows all about me
It’s been my friend through thick and thin, I’m sure we’d both agree
I share things like L.O.V.E and what’s for my T.E.A
But I realise now I’ve said too much
It’s time to call it a day

My P.R.I.V.A.C.Y is important today
Me and my D.A.T.A will be going away
I love my friends and all their P.I.Cs, uploaded on the fly,
But Facebook, I’m taking back my P.R.I.V.A.C.Y

I’ll be lost at Christmas time
And on my next birthday
Now that D.E.L.E.T.E is swiftly underway
You monetized all our details
And most people cannot tell
So Zuckerberg and his smug face
Can rot away in hell

My P.R.IV.A.C.Y is important today
Me and my D.A.T.A will be going away
A ten year data footprint is enough to make me C.R.Y
And now I must delete it for P.R.I.V.A.C.Y

I’ve just shut down my Twitter
YouTube is out the door
My footprint is shrinking but I still have to do loads more
G.O.O.G.L.E still knows
All of my online trends
And all of my online passwords
And all those of my friends

Will this footprint last forever? Where should I send my pleas?
I fear these tax avoiders will keep me on my knees?
So I’ll spell out K.E.Y.W.O.R.Ds randomly
In a vain attempt to try and fool G.O.O.G.L.E

My P.R.IV.A.C.Y is important today
Me and my D.A.T.A will be going away
A ten year data footprint is enough to make me C.R.Y
And now I must delete it for P.R.I.V.A.C.Y
