Have a fun night

I didn't mean you had done wrong by sharing the information. It was a good reminder to check it out. I just hate that there is such a tendancy to panic.

I didn't take it that way at all. No worries. Sometimes people just don't realize who their sharing info with is all. Can't be to careful nowadays ;)

I logged on to FaceBook after being convinced by my Granddaughter...and it still confuses me. But what surprised me was about the 3rd time I logged on, I discovered about 200 people who wanted to be my "Friend" and showed their names and in a lot of cases, their pictures. And I only knew a handfull of them. Some of them were from other addresses I have, and even though I write to them now and then, I've NEVER seen a picture of them before that. Couple of them I've asked them about it and it surprised the heck out of them, knowing that their picture was on an international group. They had sent their pictures to another group of people that have no contact with FaceBook.
There doesn't seem to be much privacy around any more, nor do most younger people seem to even know what the word means.

Wonder how long it will be until FB starts listing everyone's home phone numbers, too?

this is posted at the top of the contact Facebook page.
Only you can see your contacts
Your Contacts list is like a phonebook that only you can see. It includes numbers that 1) you may have synced from your phone or 2) your friends have chosen to share with you. To control who sees your contact information, visit your privacy settings.

No phone numbers on my Facebook page. It's all in the privacy settings you select. You have to check every box in the privacy sections to what you allow and don't allow.

If you put it in your profile it is there. But, if you did not it is not there. Everyone that does not want to share their phone number should get it out of their profile.

When you set up your account you don't allow what you don't want published.Also,don't play the silly games that require that the host has access to all of your friends' details and numbers as they are not yours to give.Then you should have little problem and exposure.

I don't facebook with my phone and I checked and they are still there! It may be because I have entered these numbers in my email on their contacts info sheet . Will have to see about getting them removed. One of them is for my niece who has an order of protection against an abuser. Whoever thought this one up should be taken to the shed for a whoopin'. It would be nice if they had assumed that we didn't want to share all that info and would have had to check to allow it rather than having to check to remove it. Ann in TN
