The following is one of those pestiferous and nettlesome Facebook
quizzes. But this one is designed by the A.C.L.U. to show you how much
private information you reveal by taking them:

"Ever take one of those Facebook quizzes to find out which superhero
most resembles your dog, or have a friend who seems to spend most of
their life doing so? Then you might be in for a surprise when you take
this quiz and learn just how much of your personal information these
quizzes can access.

Even if your Facebook profile is "private," when you take a quiz, an
unknown quiz developer could be accessing almost everything in your
profile: your religion, sexual orientation, political affiliation,
pictures, and groups. Facebook quizzes also have access to most of the
info on your friends' profiles. This means that if your friend takes a
quiz, they could be giving away your personal information too.

But don't take our word for it - take this quiz and see for yourself!"
