Another pointless Facebook panic

The latest Facebook privacy panic is caused by the news that they are planning to allow third parties to find out your address and phone number. Before you rush to cancel your Facebook account (which is probably impossible under the new TOS), let's take a deep breath and think about this. Firstly, if your address and phone number are on Facebook, that means you put them there. Presumably you put them there so that people can find you if they want to, which means you are probably not a political dissident, on the run from the law, or in the FBI's witness protection program. In other words, it's probably not a big deal if people know where you live, and if it is, you should probably take your contact deals off Facebook. You should also make sure they aren't in the telephone directory, from which people have been obtaining phone numbers and addresses for about a hundred years with no controversy whatsoever. Secondly, the apps still have to ask you for your permission to access your contact details. So some people put their addresses and phone numbers on Facebook, then tell third-party apps that they can access them, and this makes Mark Zuckerberg evil?
