This kind of stuff bugs me. I hate it that my friends can share my personal data with your application without my permission.
Someone needs to solve this problem. It isn't an easy one. Users want to use services that make it easy to manage data related to their contacts.
Whilst some apps are more shady than others with the use of this data, the bottom line is that it is a privacy attack by proxy.
- idoh 12y agoIt's a fair opinion. In a way Facebook solved it by not allowing the sharing any more. In the birthday cards case the app is benign, it gets the data so that friends can send you a card on your birthday. Without some mechanism to get friends birthdays, this class of app just cannot exist.
