    Here’s how to see everything that Facebook knows about you.

    Watch Dogs is already one of the most hyped game releases of the spring, but Ubisoft’s clever marketing campaign might convince a whole new crowd to check the game out. Digital Shadow is a website being run by Ubisoft which allows Facebook users to see just how vulnerable their information could be to an outside source. By allowing the site to access your account, Digital Shadow will let you know within seconds which contacts you regularly interact with, which words you use most often in status updates and when you’re active on the social network.

    The more frightening breaches appear at the bottom of the page. Digital Shadow can not only pinpoint your location on a map — it also estimates your salary and generates a list of potential passwords to access your account.

    As an infrequent Facebook user, the results for my profile were relatively limited, but the page would be full of information for any Facebook obsessives who haven’t turned on the necessary privacy settings.

    It’s not much more than a fun gimmick, but it parallels nicely with the theme of government overreach in Watch Dogs and might even bring more attention to a pressing issue. Check out how vulnerable you are at the Digital Shadow website. Watch Dogs will be available for PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC on May 27th.

    Everything you input on any social-media outlet especially this Facebook is there for the whole world to see. Eventually, the flow of your personal information on the net comes down to you. After all, no one knows you better than you, and it's the person putting his/her information on there. So if a person wants to 'see', just recall all your activity such as bashing others etc. and that is all the information they know about you.

    And I reckon it is not hard at all to expose a 'limited' profile. I mean, it is a complete joke if anyone really relies on that feature for privacy. hah

    I have played with Facebook from time to time but it can be so t5ime consuming and I am not sure what the real saving grace is from being there so much yet everyone has those moments there.
    I am there mostly to see my new grand daughter and a few old timers I had lost touch with but to do that right takes time I don't have and probably wouldn't spend there anyway.
