First they came for Adult sites
And I did not speak out
Because I was not interested in Adult sites
Then they came for Social Media
And I did not speak out
Because I was not interested in Social Media

Because I was notย  interested in chat apps
Then they locked the whole web behind ID verification
And there was no one left
To speak up against this
