So you have a problem with them using the contacts in the literal way they said they would, to build a graph to suggest friends to people. Seems like being mad

Seems like being mad you got bacon from a bacon salesman, screaming that you were told it would be pork.
- Nextgrid 8y agoIt's one thing to recommend me if I provided my number to Facebook. It's another thing to use my number as a means to link otherwise unrelated people especially if I am not a Facebook user myself. Oh and finally it's another thing to use the number for ads.
- basch 8y agoWhat would providing your own number do? When facebook asks for permission to see your contacts, it says its so it can look through for contacts you have that youre not friends with. Its literal explicit purpose is for building out the social graph. And it tells you that. People just dont realize that they would store a phone number they dont have a profile for yet.
