It’s almost too ironic that something that’s meant to be used to increase security can also be used to invade one’s privacy. Perhaps it isn’t too surprising, however, that Facebook is the one doing it. The latest in the never-ending litany of privacy sins involves the already misused phone number you may have submitted for two-factor authentication or 2FA. Not only did Facebook use that for ads, it apparently also made it too easy for someone to hunt you down on Facebook with that same number.
To be fair, the setting in question isn’t actually new, which is why Facebook seems to be downplaying it the revelation.
