离职唱给同事什么歌

Cow Clicker, a parody Facebook game, collected personal data from 180,000 people back in 2010-2011.

Cow Clicker是一款模仿Facebook的游戏，在2010-2011年间收集了18万人的个人数据。

If you don’t remember “clicker” games, Farmville was a famous example. These were games where you logged into Facebook every few hours, clicked something, then sent annoying invitations to your friends so they could click things too. Ian Bogost, an indie game developer, hated these games, so he made an intentionally stupid parody of them: Cow Clicker.

如果您不记得“点击器”游戏，Farmville就是一个著名的例子。在这些游戏中，您每隔几个小时登录Facebook，单击一些内容，然后向您的朋友发送烦人的邀请，以便他们也可以单击内容。独立游戏开发商Ian Bogost讨厌这些游戏，因此他故意对它们进行了愚蠢的模仿：Cow Clicker。

The premise: you have a cow, and every hour you can click it. That was just about it.

前提：您有一头母牛，每小时可以单击它。就是这样。

A decade later Bogost still has access to vast amounts of user information. Here he is writing for The Atlantic:

十年后， Bogost仍然可以访问大量的用户信息。他在这里为《大西洋》撰稿：

If you played Cow Clicker, even just once, I got enough of your personal data that, for years, I could have assembled a reasonably sophisticated profile of your interests and behavior. I might still be able to; all the data is still there, stored on my private server, where Cow Clicker is still running, allowing players to keep clicking where a cow once stood, before my caprice raptured them into the digital void.

如果您只玩过一次Cow Cower，甚至只有一次，我都会获得您足够的个人数据，这些年来，我本可以收集您的兴趣和行为的相当复杂的资料。我也许仍然可以；所有数据仍然存在，存储在我的私人服务器上，Cow Clicker仍在其中运行，允许玩家在我随心所欲地将它们变成数字虚空之前，继续单击母牛曾经站立过的位置。

Bogost isn’t going to use this data to do anything nefarious, but the same can’t be said for every app you gave access to Facebook in the early 2000s. It’s worth thinking about which apps you give permission to access your Facebook, because it has implications years from now.

Bogost不会使用这些数据来做任何邪恶的事情，但是对于您在2000年代初访问Facebook的每个应用程序，都无法说同样的话。值得思考的是，您授予哪些应用程序访问您的Facebook的权限，因为它影响了数年之久。

Oh, and if you’re curious about Cow Clicker, there’s a fascinating On The Media segment about the game. Please listen to it: it’s hilarious how far what started as a parody game ended up going. People paid real money to have a cow facing right instead of left, and there was eventually a Cowpocalypse. It’s nuts.

哦，如果您对Cow Clicker感到好奇，那么您可以在有关该游戏的On The Media栏目中着迷。请听：有趣的是，模仿游戏开始到现在为止走了多远。人们付了真钱，让一头母牛朝右而不是朝左，最终出现了一次牛天灾。疯了
