Facebook Opens Up Home Addresses and Phone Numbers

Posted by timothy on from the 1600-pennsylvania-avenue-should-do dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Do you really want third-party app developers on Facebook to be able to access your mobile phone number and home address? Facebook has announced that developers of Facebook apps can now gather the personal contact information from their users. Security firm Sophos describes it as 'a move that could herald a new level of danger for Facebook users' and advises users to remove their home address and phone numbers from the network immediately."

      That's OK. I'm on Facebook but only for social purposes. So arguably even less important than LinkedIn.
