This idea is part of the A Dollar Worth of Ideas series, with potential open source, research or data science projects or contributions for people to pursue. I would be interested in mentoring some of them. Just contact me for details.


A game where you control a social network and try to monetize the members (pigs) private information (buy chopping it and making sausages out of it).

The intention of this game is to bring awareness of how our private information being leaked through social media is (1) worth money to the operators of the social media sites and (2) ultimately leads to our own demise.

A deeper topic is related totalitarian interactivity and the continuous manipulation of people in social media sites.
