Thread: Farmville Lawsuit

gee, Zynga breaking privacy laws? Why I'm sooooooo shocked

A class-action lawsuit was filed Monday in a federal court in San Francisco accusing FarmVille creator Zynga of "illegally sharing the Facebook user data of its customers with advertisers and data brokers."

In a statement released by the lawsuit's co-lead attorneys, the filing claims Zynga violated federal law and its contract with Facebook by sharing the user data of players on games such as Farmville.

Who could of guessed Zynga would do such a thing?!

'FarmVille' creator Zynga facing lawsuit

That's not really surprising. I hear Facebook itself actually does about the same thing in general with a lot of their apps. That's how they get ads specific for you and find friends for you even if you don't ask for the helping in finding friends.

I'm not shocked either. That will learn all of you for sending me retarded requests to pig farm with you.

Class action suits are good for lawyers, bad for the members of the class...

I agree 100%!!!

In this case, I really don't care much for the class of idiots that actually play Farmville, but that is just me.
