Data Mining Alert : Blyts' Quiz of Seers

If you thought the Android app store only skimmed on checking adult game apps apparently they also fail at checking Game Show style games.

According to reviews of the title on the app store this title, plot concerning you being Imprisoned by a wizard that challenges you to quizzes for your very life, apparently data mines your personal info... but wait, wouldn't Amazon ban that? No, in fact today it's the Free app of the day... why? Well that's the thing, in this day age the most precious commodity is your personal info, but not only for identity theft. Companies can use your info and sell it to every company that might cater to your likes, who in turn shill you endlessly pushing their product to improve their bottom line.

Long story short always read the low star rating reviews to see why people are down on an app or game before downloading. A data mining Jigglypuff for an insta-fail. Just add internet.
