FB continues to lead the way when it comes to "it's in our TOS but don't go reading it because it won't match our marketing copy"
At no point was it mentioned that they would be helping themselves to the rest of my contacts, to whom I have no connection to on Facebook.
Pissed off doesn't even begin to cover it.
However, this is kind of irrelevant because 99% of users are not going to read this kind of a warning no matter WHAT it says and are just going to click through. They want their Facebook photos on their phone contacts dammit!
What I don't understand here is why everyone is so concerned at all about this. If you have an Android phone, Google has your phone book. If you have an iPhone, Apple does. If you back-up your computer to the cloud, they have it too. As long as none of them share it publicly, why do you care?
If Facebook was sharing your private phone numbers to the world or exposing who you had in your phonebook to people, I'd understand the outrage. But all they did was backup and sync your contacts which seems to me to be a service, not an offense.
