ACLU of Northern CA

The ACLU Facebook Quiz and its developer, Technology and Civil Liberties Fellow Chris Conley, were recently featured on NPR's radio show, All Things Considered. If you missed it, you can listen to it here.

So far, more than 115,000 people have taken the ACLU's Facebook Quiz to see what happens behind-the-scenes to their personal information when they - or a friend - take a quiz on Facebook.

The ACLU 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.

The ACLU Quiz also shows you how to change your privacy settings so you can better protect your personal information.

Check out the ACLU Quiz here and get your own peek behind the Facebook quiz curtain.
