I created https://www.thenewseachday.com/facebook-phone-numbers-us https://www.thenewseachday.com/facebook-phone-numbers-us and https://www.thenewseachday.com/facebook-phone-numbers-australia https://www.thenewseachday.com/facebook-phone-numbers-austra... to check if phone numbers are in the data. (The data is split by country and I've made them for the US and Australia so far.)

While I appreciate what you did there by allowing search by phone number. The home page of that website is terrible, you claim to be a website for news but it’s really just far left propaganda, interspersed with communist agenda items, and a smattering of kinda center left articles.

  In this day and age, "news" and "propaganda" are interchangable.

    They always have been. There's no mythical past in which the powers that be have not used it for their agenda.

  The majority of articles are from CNN, NYT and Politco.
  - vxNsr 6y ago
    Yes and? Anyone who has been paying attention would agree that CNN, NYT, and Politico are all far left or center left depending on the author of the piece in question. I’ve been watching WH press briefings since Obama and I had to stop for a few years of trump just bec of the vitriol that was hurled at the press secretary. Suddenly under Biden these same reporters have become as docile as sheep again despite the same scandals happening daily... I wonder why?

  I see a post from Glenn Greenwald. I think most would consider him right leaning. I also see a post from The Dispatch, which Wikipedia describes as "center-right".
  - newnamenewface 6y ago
    Glenn Greenwald is right leaning? I disagree with your appraisal that most would consider him that. He's highly critical of mainstream liberal media which creates the sense he must be 'on the other side,' but he's definitely a left liberal.
    - Thorrez 6y ago
      I guess you're right that "most" was overly strong. But reading his twitter I can't help but think of him as anything but right leaning. Just today he's got a tweet about "Russiagate"[1], one criticizing "British centrists and liberals"[2], one with him being interviewed positively on Fox News[3], two criticizing Hunter Biden[4][5], one criticizing "House Democrats' HR-1 bill"[6], one criticizing vaccine passports[7].

        Maybe it says something about the news and your perceptions that someone who entirely agrees with the progressive social and political agenda is so critical of what is currently passing for progressive ideas and champions these days.

Serious question: the initial leak misspelt "Austria" as "Austriaia", and chaos has ensued... the initial forum leak along with all ufile references and telegram groups I've been able to find all seem to have this "bug". So I'm very interested about any insight you may have.
- davidjohnstone 6y ago
  I don't have much insight on this. I accidentally downloaded that one first when I meant to download the Australian one, but quickly realised my mistake because the CSV file inside the archive was correctly spelt. Then I got the actual Australian one.
  - gilberdash 6y ago
    Would you be able to provide info on how you found the aussie one. So far i've only seen the bugged versions.

Regarding the first post, I went through approximately ~80 pages of "thanks", and one pair of mildly sore eyes later, was unable to find any "update". A torrent *was* posted somewhere around page 80 but this had the wrongly-named file in it. I have also seen a few TG groups that have renamed the file, but it's still the wrong one (like the GP described). I can confirm that Austraiaia has an eclectic mix of Australia and Austria though - and also that grepping for 'Australia.*Austria\|Austria.*Australia' returns 170 results, grepping for 'Austria' returns 446375 results, and grepping for 'Australia' returns 408 results.

Mine is in the Australia set, is there any meaningful next step to see what was leaked or does it not really matter?
- davidjohnstone 6y ago
  I don't know what there is to do other than to be aware that the combination of your name and number (and maybe some other details) are not private, so there's no reason to trust anyone just because they know those things. As far as seeing what was leaked, you could find the data yourself (but I'm uncomfortable giving instruction on how to get it). It would be nice if it was possible to extend the tool to be able to send the information for a number to the number (because that's the only way I can think of that demonstrates ownership of the data) but that can't be done for free and it therefore seems too complicated to set up.

    I grew up with phone books so I suppose that's not the worst thing in the world. I have received more scam calls lately but so has everyone I know. Eagerly awaiting the news that Facebook takes security seriously.
