Narrowly avoiding yet another uproar over sharing users' private information with third parties, Facebook
has decided to temporarily
roll back a feature that would grant application developers
access to its users' phone numbers and physical
addresses. The capability will be reintroduced when a more
transparent system for opting out can be implemented. Apps
which use this information will be able to target users
and send notifi cations directly to their phones,
possibly including unsolicited advertisements.
