This is doubly (triply? (N+1)ly?) ironic because this is a perfect example of when not only is it acceptable to use the passive voice, but using it makes the sentence flow more smoothly and read more clearly. The idea they're communicating here should focus on the object ("the agent") rather than the subject ("you") because the presumed audience already knows everything about the subject.
