What do Facebook quizzes say about your paranoid ass?

Apparently a lot.

Facebook lists countless quizzes encouraging members to determine, among other things, their favorite Sex and the City character, John Hughes movie, or Prince song. (Miranda, Breakfast Club, and Raspberry Beret - didn’t need a quiz, thankyouverymuch.)

Most of us have lives and hit “ignore” faster than Jim Greer hits the mirror after a stressful day memorizing Glenn Beck’s talking points.

But if you are one of the few who takes a quiz every now and then, in between bong hits, beware! According to the ACLU (big fan) – you could be allowing Big Brother into your cubicle, studio apartment, or grandma’s basement.

And who knows where that will lead. From the civil liberties peeps…

That’s why we’ve created our own Facebook quiz that demonstrates what could be revealed when you, or your friends, take any other quiz on Facebook.

Take our Facebook quiz and find out: What do quizzes really reveal about you?

We know it’s a little weird to warn you about Facebook quizzes by asking you to take a Facebook quiz — but at least you know who we are and that we have a real privacy policy that we’re committed to upholding. Can you say the same for every unknown developer of every quiz you or your friends take?

Chances are you can’t. Our quiz shows you firsthand how Facebook allows any quiz developer to access your personal information—including religious and political views, sexual orientation, pictures, groups, and posts. And how most of your personal information can be exposed even if it’s your friend, and not you, who takes one of these quizzes.

If details about your personal life are collected by a quiz developer, who knows where they could end up or how they could be used. Shared? Sold? Turned over to the government?

It’s time for Facebook to upgrade its privacy controls to give you control of your personal information.

Take our Facebook quiz and take action to protect yourself now.

I’m not sure what the government can do with lame information regarding your favorite books and what farm animal you’d like to be in another life. If anything, they’ll know who *not* to call in an emergency.

But if you are one to get your stained and unattractive panties in a wad over this kind of stuff, jump on Facebook’s ass and get them to update privacy controls.

Then you can go back to that Mafia game and play in peace.
