Now sharing your address and phone details with world + dog. Fuckers.

Update: 18 January 2011

The API has been hastily withdrawn.

We look forward to re-enabling this improved feature in the next few weeks.

Meaning, we’ll try and reintroduce it even more quietly than we did the first time.

Which means they’re still fuckers, just underhand fuckers.

What to do?

If you have to have Facebook review the information you have on your profile: facebook.com > profile > edit profile > contact information

Remember, you are not a customer. You are product. Their customer is the advertisers who pay them billions.
