Facebook Is Giving Advertisers Access To Your Shadow Contact Information
This is the kind of thing that is stupidly hard to fight now.  Even if you block Facebook’s 80,000 domains at your router, your friend’s address book dump gives lots of goodies to Facebook and 3rd parties and you can’t touch it.  Every new thing they try becomes illegal in 2 years “but not yet” so they do it until they can’t.<p>Sometimes it seems like the “Default deny” security concept needs to apply to Internet companies.  Instead of having <i>years</i> to screw with data and the Internet until told “no”, how about every idea they have is illegal until it can be proven through thorough review that it might be valuable?
