Nicholas Kristof of the *New York Times* is working on [a new Facebook game that does some good for once](http://mashable.com/2012/01/11/kristof-farmville/?ref=killscreen.com).

Burak said that players will also be able to contribute to causes without paying money, for example by completing virtual missions that add them to advocacy campaigns or other efforts.*

How funny would it be if one of those causes was protecting online privacy?
