Right, but the point RWW was trying to make is that the dialog doesn't exactly scream "we're sharing your phone number!" It looks very similar to any other dialog 90% of the Internet might click through without so much as a glance.
- nhangen 16y agoExactly, and what I really don't like about this is not that they are doing it, but they won't share it with their users unless the tech world makes a big deal out of it, which they will. So they announce it on the dev blog, but not the public blog, which I think is poor form at a minimum. I looked through my profile info and I didn't see a way to hide my phone or address from applications, which means that I have to choose to not post them on Facebook, or provide access any time I want to use an app that requests them. Obviously, this is much more useful to developers than it is users.
