Game Addresses College Privacy Concerns

Thanks to Wired News for their article discussing a new game that's teaching new college students about protecting their privacy. The Flash game, created by Privacy Activism and called Carabella Goes To College, "is about finding the right balance between privacy and convenience", as the player will "...find information about ways to protect yourself against threats like identity theft and consumer profiling." The Wired article says that the game "occasionally lapses into exaggeration", although events portrayed "have happened before" in some form, such as the based-on-real-life incident in which "Carabella receives an e-mail message from a prisoner named Mike (the Dagger) who said he wrote her after processing her order. He wants to see her when he gets out of jail."
