A large number of Facebook games may be temporarily closed because of suspected collection and disclosure of user data to advertisers and web tracking companies,/wendy.  According to the Wall Street Journal, 10 of the most popular apps on Facebook, such as Happy Farm, FrontierVille, gangster Wars, and Texas Poker, have this problem, including three games with happy farms that sell personal information about users ' friends. The transmitted data "Facebook ID" is unique to each user and can be used to view your username, even if your profile uses the strictest settings.  This data will actually expose the user's data across the network. If all this is true then the above application violates Facebook's privacy rules, and all apps for social game developers Lolapps have been shut down by Facebook for violating its terms of service. "Because Lolapps violated our terms of service, we have closed its application," a Facebook spokeswoman said. "For user privacy Disclosure Facobook spokesman said," We have a strict privacy protection system, we will continue to rely on technology to protect user privacy. "  "A spokesman for the happy farm developer Zynga said they didn't do anything unethical, insisting that Zynga has a strict privacy policy that does not send user information to any third party, and Zynga wants to continue working with Facebook to protect users ' privacy." If the happy farm is really going to be closed, the first reaction of foreign netizens is "how do I plant crops?" "(Edit/Ming)
