As someone who agreed with both viewpoints, I think I can elucidate. The problem isn't that you're having fun with the copy, it's that it's just bad copy. It's a very cheap shot and feels petty.

I'm not a copywriter, but I think something like "We’ve become complacent in trading information for free access to web services, and then complain when they robotically testify before congress." would be an improvement.
