Facebook plans to share your phone numbers and addresses


If you did not know, facebook says that it will continue to move forward with its plans to share your home addresses and phone numbers with 3rd party sites.  According to an article  on huffington.post.com,  Facebook will be moving forward with a controversial plan to give third-party developers and external websites the ability to access users' home addresses and cellphone numbers in the face of criticism from privacy experts, users, and even congressmen.

Facebook quietly announced the new policy in a note posted to its Developer Blog in January. It suspended the feature just three days later following user outcry, while promising that it would be "re-enabling this improved feature in the next few weeks."

Will you continue to use facebook if your information is made available to 3rd party sites although you (the user) will have the capability to authorize such applications?  I think it may be time for me to look for other social networking sites because facebook is soon going to become a part of the government's way of tracking individuals.
