What games are you claiming need the same level of information about me as a doctor?
Frankly, your analogy is ridiculous. Facebook apps aren't integral parts of my health and well-being. They don't need to delve into my personal life.
They want to. That's one way to exploit me to advertisers. But a Doctor absolutely needs to, for my own well being. Games and the advertisers they serve don't have that claim.
- zerostar07 14y agoThe social element is absolutely essential to such simple games. If it weren't for the constant nagging of your friends there wouldn't be much fun they would practically not work. If you feel the games exploit you (or the doctor invades your life) , then avoid them.

"It wouldn't work without constant nagging" is supposed to support your point? > If you feel the games exploit you (or the doctor invades your life) , then avoid them. The entire point of the article is that Facebook is intentionally making it less obvious that these games are exploiting your personal information.
- pacala 14y agoBut how can advertisers target their ads to your special interests if they don't know everything about you? Advertisers are just as essential to your well being as the doctor is, if not even more. </preemptive sarcasm>
