The ability to see how much information about one's life is "shared" on Facebook user the application provides Digital Shadow, which was created as part of the promotion of the Watch Dogs video game, expected to be released shortly.
The highly anticipated Watch Dogs deals with the digital/interconnected nature of modern life, with the player being asked to complete missions in an "open" futuristic urban environment where everything is interconnected. The hero, who is embodied by the player, is a hacker who moves in the Chicago of the near future, hacking the central system CtOS to achieve its purposes.
Η access στην εφαρμογή γίνεται μέσω του λογαριασμού στο Facebook (ωστόσο για κάποιον λόγο δεν φαίνεται να είναι δυνατή από την Ελλάδα). Όπως αναφέρεται σε δημοσίευμα του Business Insider, με το που ο χρήστης μπει σε αυτήν, προβάλλονται φωτογραφίες που έχει ανεβάσει ο ίδιος ή άλλοι χρήστες. Η εφαρμογή αναλύει επίσης τη λίστα φίλων και τους χωρίζει σε διαφορετικές κατηγορίες: stalkers (αυτοί με τους οποίους ο χρήστης αλληλεπιδρά συχνά), liabilities (αυτοί οι οποιοι τον κάνουν tag συχνά σε publications), obsessions (those who don't respond when the user comments on their posts), and scapegoats (users with whom the user doesn't interact much).
Digital Shadow analyzes how often the user makes publications, what kind of content they are and where they are. He also makes estimates of his mood and character while trying to guess his income level and his code.
Although, as noted in the report, the accuracy of the application with respect to these latter features does not seem to be too high, it is certainly a matter of reflection on what may be the disclosure of many personal data and data on Facebook and more generally on the Internet .
