The Privacy Game

In a hyper-connected world where people click through each others’ photos on Facebook, follow each other’s thoughts on Twitter and track each others’ careers on LinkedIn, personal information is everywhere. It was hardly surprising when Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg said that privacy is no longer the social norm. Thanks to Zuckerberg, people voluntarily post their photos, relationship status, political views and sexual orientation on an easily accessible website. What may surprise you, though, is what else you reveal about yourself each day–and who’s collecting your personal information. Did you think about the privacy implications when buying coffee with your Starbucks Rewards card, posting your highest score on Angry Birds or logging into Netflix? How much do you reveal in a day? Play The Privacy Game to find out!
