Facebook To Share Users' Home Addresses, Phone Numbers With External Sites

[Phokus]

Great sound fantastic all I need facebook to do now, is to show my location at all times using my cell phone.
It would be great if it also shared my medical records so when I get sick all my friends can know – send my stuff since they now have my address.


Hm.. that gives my another idea how abut joining security cameras with facebook so when I go somwhere my friends can see me doing stuff shopping, parking, etc.

Oh, you're out at a restaurant? Sounds like a great time to burglarize your home!

I don't have a FB account, but why would you enter in your phone # or address into that site anyway?

to give your friends the ability to find your phone number and call you?

facebook started out as a excellent way to find and get in contact with people which was very useful for college, now its just completely commercialized and turned to complete shit

Just another reason not to use facebook.

How that site ever got popular, I will never know or understand.

It was to get sex/hook up and still is. How could it not be popular?

that's probably why you aren't worth billions of dollars.

That kinda explains it, I'am married and not looking so I do not use facebook.

But with that in mind, why does my wife use facebook so much.

Why use FB if I'm in constant contact with those friends? I view FB as a way to keep in touch with the friends I don't see regularly or haven't seen in a long long time. They're the ones that might want my phone # and not have it, not the friends I call up weekly to hang out with. I had my phone # up just for that reason. I've taken it down with this revelation, but it's probably too late now. At least it's on the DNC list.

FB was a very useful tool for keeping in touch when first implemented. Now they're betraying the trust their users had in using them (many won't care, don't see the privacy issues) and is selling out.

[IceBergSLiM]

so does that mean if you don't use any of the stupid 3rd party apps your fine?

 

[Texashiker]

to get sex and hook up.

Now that you mention it, my wife joined Curves last week. After we get home from work, she changes, goes to the gym for about 45 minutes and comes home all sweaty.

 

[InflatableBuddha]

guess what you cant find on my FB accnt

phone numbers and home addys

Same.

People who put that kind of information on the that kind of websites are morons.

sounds right to me. I would think that if You don't want it to be known, don't put it on the internet.

BUT--it seems to me that this is the assumed purpose of Facebook, right? this is your contacts portal, where all you need to know to get in touch with the people in your life is available. Why shouldn't you expect to have a nice, snazzy contacts folder with all of the addresses and phone numbers of your stalking vict--er, friends right where you expect them to be?

hell, I pretty much use my various mailing addresses saved at Amazon to keep track of my family mailing info. This sounds to me like what one should be using FB for, no?

FB is used to get in contact with someone, to that end if you EVER needed an address or phone you could just message someone to get it.

This.

Phone # so people can contact you with it. Unfortunately my # is on there and it's how some people have contacted me before when they didn't have it.

Now I am going to have to remove it or something.

Btw, I don't share any of my info with any apps or anything. I have all the stuff disabled, so...?

 

[Alone]

I left my number up because it doesn't affect me.

 

[VinylxScratches]

My address and cell are not a part of it so whatever.

 

[sdifox]

who puts their real phone number and addr on fb?

 

[amdhunter]

99% of Facebook users do.

D:

I think I am on facebook. But just because someone invited me. I don't do anything on there.

 

[sactoking]

With all the information people put on FB (and shouldn't) I'd bet that FB has your addy and # even if you didn't post it. There's pretty much nothing FB can't data mine with their info. The only way to be truly safe from FB's lack of privacy control is to not be on it (and even then that's not guaranteed as others can post about you).
