SONY RESPONDS TO SACKBOOK CLOSURE
As we’ve been following closely, fan-made LittleBigPlanet social networking site Sackbook was recently shut down just days after it kicked off at the behest of Sony’s legal team. Today, in the midst of a roundup of various community concerns (including the ongoing moderation guideline debacle), Sony assured everyone that it had only proper privacy concerns in mind:
An impressive community fansite popped up last week and we were all impressed, but we’ve been in discussions with the site owner and requested the site be suspended. Chris, the site owner, was happy to work with us on this. Our intent is to be able to offer everyone the choice of whether their shared data is visible or not in order to protect everyone’s privacy, and while Sackbook was doing nothing wrong in the way it presented information and had no access to any personal data, we believe this additional option is important.
Good news, then, and happy to see everyone as impressively impressed as I was, and looking forward to its relaunch in the near future.
