Facebook and Zynga came under some fire when a team of investigative journalists published an article for the Wall Street Journal. The article accuses both companies of violating the privacy of their users

Bill Lara from
The Daily Post broke this story to the Mafia Wars community by sharing the following article from Business Insider

Shortly after the Wall Street Journal publication, Zynga added the
Zynga's Privacy Policy page to their list of top support answers for Mafia Wars and ensured us that all of their games conform to a strict Privacy Policy. To read the entire Privacy Policy, click

Facebook also had something to say about their Privacy Policy

All I can say is if you have a Facebook account and play social games, don't add information that you wouldn't want to be shared. It's unfortunate that Facebook goes makes us opt out of privacy violating options rather than opt in. They also make it difficult for us gamers to interact with each other and there doesn't seem to be much we can do about it.
None of this surprises me anymore.
