Bingo on Facebook – Not Such a Bright Future?
2010-05-16 10:36:57 | Written by: Rachel Collins
With online bingo Facebook both continue growing and becoming popular than ever, free bingo games have started popping here and there in the vast social network, and some have predicted that the future of online bingo resides inside Facebook itself, making online bingo completely free and wiping the traditional online bingo sites, considering the social nature of the bingo game and the vast penetration of Facebook to the UK online community. However, recent voices unpleased by Facebook’s privacy policy and the changes to it might signal grey clouds on these future predictions.
Facebook applications, with bingo games among them, rely on the game operator’s use of the information in the user’s accounts – in order to play free bingo on facebook, for example, a user must allow the game operator to access his account information, including comments, expressions, photos etc. . EU and US regulators and statesmen recently publically expressed resentence from Facebook’s privacy policy and the way it manages user account information, saying that Facebook is brutally hurting the privacy of the EU and US citizens. The NY Times recently wrote that the privacy policy statement of Facebook is growing longer and longer every year, currently standing at 5,830 words, longer than the American constitution. Other online services statements, like twitter and MySpace, are 10% - 20% in length.
In addition, it has been reported that Facebook executives have called an emergency meeting after it was published that Google’s search of “how to quit facebook” is ranked 8 of all the “how to quit” searches, following “how to quit smoking” and “how to quit drinking”.
Facebook could very well be facing regulators forcing it to change its account information in the near future, making games like online bingo on the network less profitable, and it might not be so likely that free bingo on Facebook will be replacing online bingo sites in the near future.Related News
