Most people will be familiar with the internet notice "Your Privacy Is Important To Us".
It often crops up on websites when you subscribe, fill out forms, set cookie preferences etc.
The wording of the term is such that people assume the emphasis is based on "Your Privacy", whereby they care and are concerned about protecting it.
However, when you read the term with the emphasis on "Is Important To Us", it takes on a whole new meaning, and this appears to be what the phrase is.
It's easy to see they mean it in this way because they do nothing other than track you, intrude upon you, chuck ads at you, block you, pass your details around, and other similar actions.
If the same thing was being processed in real life on the street, it would look like this cartoon.
