Personally, I don't like the idea of sharing who I am irl even with my clan (or faction, guild, etc). Playing a game with someone, even for a long time, gives a very limited perspective on their personality. It's strange, because on one hand you can become what can only be described as friends with people you know through online gaming, yet know relatively little about them - and that little is based on what they choose to tell you. What's more, I don't think anyone can claim to know every single person in their clan well.
Perhaps as a woman, I am more cautious than I would otherwise be, I don't know. As it is, I'd be uneasy sharing my personal details with anybody, clanmates included. There's also the consideration that I'd be sharing my family and friends, as well. If, say, someone had something against you and was spamming your FB account, they might also harass your significant other. I am pretty cynical about the depths to which people will sink. I have personally experienced ongoing spam on line app from trolls initiated by two former factionmates, so this isn't purely theoretical. If they knew who I was irl, it would be really annoying and hard to escape. So I guess the takeaway is that if you're going to link a FB, it should probably be a special one just for gaming.

considering there is absolutely NO EULA in this game, and no insurance on how they will treat my data, and just by seeing the use on public plaza they are making of my FB account details, that for sure they won't have any tiny bit of detail on me anymore.
I just hope they will not put my Google account details in public plaza or i will just quit the game altogether.

Alrighty y'all, pixoguy says that that was a mistake, it was supposed to only show for friends, but accidentally publicly shows fb profiles. It should be fixed soon

It's not a problem at all for iOS, iTunes probably has guidelines against that.

Not a lawyer, but I've worked extensively with implementing personal data privacy laws in computer software and this seems as a pretty clear data protection violation to me. You know, the kind companies in the EU and USA gets multi-million $ fines for.

Mine is visible on IOS. This is wrong.
Can I just swap it to a fake account?

I like it because I now know that a lot of players are women. I played on a team with a cutie pie name Christina.

It should be fixed soon Well here's the cold hard truth........mistakes and accidents happen, but sometimes ya gotta pay for yer f -up. Letting out peoples info like that just doesn't fly. Then again there seems to be a problem with "certain" people and "info". Sorry PIX just dont get a go free pass. Don't work that way. To be continued outside these walls.

So... Influence points update is UP. A person would expect they would have fixed the ID in clear "mistake" as Influence points are a FB related update.
Logged my FB account to check, and they have still left all the facebook IDs in clear for all to see.
Thanks Pixonic...
"It was a mistake" yeah.
Make the mistake once, it can be forgiven.
make the mistake twice, and one starts to think that they don't care at all.

Well, to be fair the IP was baked into the last update, just not activated yet. That said, it shouldn't take them this long release a fix, at least for android.

just wondering:
how much would you rate a bug that violates users privacy?
i would rate it a an High priority/moderate severity bug.
Pretty high in the to do list.

Yeah, definitely, but Pix being a russian company and all, I'd guess they have a different way of working. I'm guessing privacy regulation is not exactly top-of-the-list for our .ru friends.
