Take This Lolipop PD

He's got really bad skin, too. Kind of an acne Freddy Kruger.

After he offs you, a screen comes up with a countdown clock and your name taped on a red lollipop. At the bottom it names one of your friends and says they"re next.

I know, it's crazy the info you can find on people on the internet; stalkers used to have to actually open the phone book and turn paper pages or call information to find out where you lived!

I liked that it came up with a location across town for me, and I have absolutely no idea who the "friend" is who came up as next. Maybe I'll do it again and see if it gets any closer.

Seriously, it was interesting because it's also indicative of how off the conclusions drawn from data on the internet can be.

Google maps showed a house down the street as being my address for the longest time. Would have been a horrormirth if I'd actually had an internet stalker.

It didn't even get close to my house. Got the name of the town I live in, but nothing else.

I don't have address on Facebook, so it just went to Providence.

What's scary is that I have a secure account and I block everything except to friends. I have maximum security levels, but as soon as you give it permission to access, it's that simple to get all of that data. That's why I hate FB apps and games.

Thats why I deleted every last one, and didn't allow this one access.

I also disactivate my account when I'm not on Facebook, which helps with security (your account cannot be accessed until you log back on).

Ha that was pretty badass.

Except the guy went to the wrong city with no address.  But meh, whatever.

The odd part is that porn ads find the correct city all the time, with no asking for access.  Ah well.

I clicked on the lolipop and absolutely nothing happened.  

If you're using Firefox, get NoScript and tell it to block "fbcdn.net" unless you're actually on the facebook.com domain.  It's much easier than refusing to use sites that have the "Like us on facebook!" button ( i.e., the eye that the panopticon that is Facebook uses to spy on you.)
