还记得最近《华尔街日报》爆料出Zynga公司多款Facebook游戏的隐私问题吗？我相信社交游戏巨头Zynga可以应付接下来发生的事——据Edelson McGuire LLC新闻公布，这家拥有2亿玩家的社交游戏开发公司面临着来自Nancy Graf发起的团体诉讼。

据Edelson McGuire的Michael Aschenbrener和Nassiri & Jung LLP的assra Nassiri称，Graf于10月18日在旧金山联邦法院提起诉讼，称Zynga公司“收集旗下2亿1800万用户资料，泄漏给广告商和数据中间商的做法违背了联邦法律和Zynga公司同Facebook的合约。”

Graf希望Zynga公司能够向忠实玩家们提供经济上的赔偿，并加强对用户隐私的保护。对此，Aschenbrener评论“这次事件是网络公司对美国公众个人隐私权利的又一次失信行为。”

上周，Facebook关闭小型游戏开发工作室LolApps的大部分游戏，而这周最大的Facebook游戏开发公司又面临这法律诉讼。目前我们正在联系Zynga进行访问，请关注网站更新。（本文由游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译）

Remember that little problem the Wall Street Journal stumbled upon in several of Zynga’s top ranking Facebook games like FarmVille? Well, the social gaming giant could very well pay the price… to over 200 million players as the company faces a class-action lawsuit brought by Nancy Graf of St. Paul, Minn., according to an Edelson McGuire LLC press release.

Backed by Michael Aschenbrener of Edelson McGuire and Kassra Nassiri of Nassiri & Jung LLP, Graf filed suit in San Francisco Federal Court yesterday under the claim that Zynga “collected the Facebook data of its 218 million users and shared it with advertisers and data brokers in violation of federal law and Zynga’s contract with Facebook,” according to Edelson McGuire.

Graf expects Zynga to provide both monetary relief and further protection from abuses of privacy to the company’s loyal players, Edelson McGuire says. Aschenbrener adds, “This appears to be another example of an online company failing the American public with empty promises to respect individual privacy rights.”

When Facebook completely shut down some Lolapps games, a smaller studio by comparison, for the entire weekend in response to the news, it was only a matter of time before somebody targeted the biggest potential offender. We’ve contacted Zynga for comment, so stay tuned for potential updates.

Update: Zynga replied with this official statement: “We believe that the complaint is without merit and we intend to defend against it vigorously.” （Source：Games.com）
