the gamification of political messages is really interesting as a novel method of getting your ideas to more people, but i wonder if political games will have any measurable effect also, check out their privacy policy http://datadealer.com/imprint does anyone know what kind of info they request access to when you add them on facebook?
well, for centuries political messages are being transported by various means: stories, images, songs, books etc. so why not by a game, too? i am as curious as you what kind of effect it might have on the attitude and awareness of the users being milked for their data. if such an approach inspires one poor little soul to empower itself and regain privacy consciousness it should have been worth it, should it not? what do you mean exactly? fb’s general information requests when adding a page to your facebook profile? or clicking the like button?does anyone know what kind of info they request access to when you add them on facebook?
actually, facebook is not needed to play the game. just try it yourself at http://datadealer.com – click the screenshot or the big blue `Play Now!` button on the right-hand side.
