Your argument doesn't hold water - lots of systems have users without collecting their phone numbers.

- worker767424 6y agoIt's not just phone numbers, though. It could be private messages, friends-only posts, IP address logs, physical addresses, SSNs--the list goes on. You'll quickly find that anything non-trivial will start collecting data users wouldn't want public.
- DerpyBaby123 6y ago>Don’t store data you can’t protect. Services like social networks don't need to store physical addresses, SSNs, phone numbers, etc. Therefore, that data should be looked at like a liability rather than an asset. It shouldn't be collected in the first place. Data like private messages, friends-only posts, etc are needed for the features they want to provide, and they should only provide those features if they can protect that data. https://martinfowler.com/bliki/Datensparsamkeit.html https://martinfowler.com/bliki/Datensparsamkeit.html
