By a remarkable coincidence:

	Internet users shocked to learn company using their data

		Klerphell News Agency, Muckadilla, 3 August 2025

Millennials were shocked to learn today that the Internet, which had 
raised and educated them, was now exploiting them. "Its like your 
parents changed the tax rules so they could live off you" one shocked 
millennial said. Another said "I always thought these companies had our 
interests at heart. After all, one of their leaders did volunteer work 
at a government agency in the USA."

When surveyed about how much they would pay to keep their data private, 
the average came back as $9.45

Head of social media company Y (pronounced "Why?"), responded: "The 
suggestion that we exploit our data units (Y-speak for customers) is 
outrageous. We respect privacy. As soon as I get back from running the 
DSE (Department for Sacking Everybody), I will be identifying who these 
people are and releasing all their details, to show they have no morals".
