Care to explain for those without Facebook accounts?

  Indeed. So basically someone made a very high quality video of a creepy dude in a dark room creeping on Facebook and getting really mad. Then (with some special effects they used) they make it look like (almost perfectly) the guy is viewing your profile page, looking through your photos, and creeping on your friends. Then he maps your last known location on Google Maps, looks right at you, and drives over to your house. It's eerily realistic. Disclaimer: not my project, found it on the web.

    not to mention that, in the car, he has a print out of your profile picture, and a screwdriver (or is it a box cutter) in his hand as he exits the car.

      I'm betting its a lollipop in his hand. The video doesn't make it clear but the ending title screen shows a lollipop taped to something so I feel like that was a hint.

  It's an example of how much personal data you actually leak through Facebook illustrated through a movie of a crazy serial killer browsing Facebook, with nicely done overlays of your actual personal data that the app pulled from you.
  • ricefield 15y ago
    no, not really, considering you have to explicitly allow the app to access all that data...
    • chrischen 15y ago
      Yes but I'm sure many people did... And it wasn't hard to do.
    • henrikschroder 15y ago
      Exactly, and you did allow it to do that on nothing more than an image of a lollipop and endorsement from this community.

        Except I didn't. The confirmation page was enough for me to drive home the point.
      • ricefield 15y ago
        that seems reasonable to me. if something gets to the top spot on HN, I'd think its worth a try. some other random app? much different story.

    movie of a crazy serial killer browsing Facebook Serial killer? That's just your assumption, based on video editing. Remember the scene in Men in Black, where Will Smith is asked to shoot cardboard aliens and shoots a little girl instead? HN Against Prejudice! :-) (showed TakeThisLollipop to my gf, who freaked out and immediately deleted all fb apps... so prejudiced!)
• zrgiu_ 15y ago

      thank you but... that guy's screen is just white
    • BitMastro 15y ago
      I imagine that is the video that gets overlayed with the info gathered with the FB api
    • davorak 15y ago
      Definitely not as dramatic with the blank page.
