Comments on: ALERT: Facebook Phonebook Is Not A Security Threat http://www.allfacebook.com/facebook-phonebook-security-2010-06 The Unofficial Facebook Blog - Facebook News and More!

Posting your address and full name can be a problem too, since any information about anyone can be obtained on the internet. One can search <a href="http://www.switchboard.com" rel="nofollow">www.switchboard.com</a> or <a href="http://www.whitepages.com" rel="nofollow">www.whitepages.com</a> and get phone numbers or addresses of anyone that has a listed number, unless it is a cell phone number, which isn't listed. I would suggest to put as little personal information as possible on a Facebook account. If someone is interested in the business, he or she can contact your friend through email and then she can deal with that person on an individual basis and give out any infromation she deems appropriate.

The Android app, although I declined, still uploaded my mobile's phone book, including phone numbers that are not publicly accesible. And the conclusion of the author that it's not a bug but a feature is not correct. It's stealing private information from my mobile phone, that's what it is.

Keep also in mind 84,000 websites were erased and HAD NOTHING to do with child porn, a government big lie....

I only found out it was available to my friends today, before I even saw the message about phone numbers. There are many of my FB friends who I don't want to have my personal phone number! I agree.

I checked it and you can still see it. Facebook needs to get with the program! It will still show even if you use the above settings to "only me". I checked it and you can still see it.

Try getting on to facebook by browsing from an anoymous browser; you can't. I had to go in specifically and have my daughter'sbio info erased from the web and need to continually do it from time to time. facebook is one of many that doesn't announce all the little add ons of their applications when they launch them.

It is extremely unethical to not be upfront with the fact that even people who aren't on FB and who are in your iPhone phonebook will have their information uploaded. Even if the "fix" did work to delete your contacts who is to say that FB wouldn't keep their information and use it if necessary. I'm pretty sure in their "terms and conditions" they state they can use any information that "you give them" in anyway they need to. Your information also gets sold if the company gets sold! They should have been upfront about how that feature actually works but then again... nobody would have actually used it. Something drastic needs to happen in order for FB to change this or purge that information. I agree with most of the previous comments.
