The argument is friends' contact info belongs to your friends, not to you. Its a social grey area that has been created by the internet, the correct protocols have yet to be defined.
- mikemaccana 15y agoI can access my friends contact info (including email addresses and phone numbers) as I like, within FB's platform. FB just restricts me from accessing that once I;m not longer connected to it. Indeed, you're right - that's the argument - but I suspect it's merely used as a justification to FB's commercial benefit.
- Xuzz 15y agoYes, but the question was about downloading what you put in, not what other people put in that you happen to have access to.
- mikemaccana 15y agoI put in email addresses. I can't get them out.

The CEO is allegedly said to take advantage of journalists who provided their details to access journalists' private emails [1].
