Facebook's Unethical Behavior Strikes Again
Everytime there is an article about Facebook that article describes how nefarious - yes, nefarious - and unethical Facebook is acting.
In this particular case, Facebook is now using what it sold as a security feature as an identity feature with no way to remove or disable it.
And people wonder why I don't use Facebook.
Twitter user Jeremy Burge pointed out, in a thread, that phone numbers could be searched, with "no way to disable" the feature. He added that, perhaps unsurprisingly, this data is also shared with WhatsApp and Instagram, which means your phone number becomes a unique ID for you. And it's impossible to disable the feature if you added your number -- only limit it to your immediate friend circle.
