Facebook announced that they are now sharing your mobile phone number and address with 3rd party developers. Cue the Luddite privacy advocates to begin soapboxing and lawyering up.
It was not long ago that phone books (remember those?) were published and distributed to every home and business address in the country. There in black and white, right next to your name was your home address and phone number. This went on for about a hundred years, and everyone that had a telephone was listed. That is except for those that did not want their name and adress listed for every Tom, Dick and stalker or telemarketer to see. Incredibly, those that did not want to be listed had to “opt-out” even though they were “opted-in” without approval. Oh, and they had to pay money to “opt-out”.
