       Meta has created a tool that lets you check if they’ve scraped your phone number or email address from someone else’s contacts list. It also lets you remove and block your phone number or email from their database. It’s hidden away in one of their help articles: https://www.facebook.com/contacts/removalSource: Business Insider (https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-likely-has-your-contact-info-phone-number-email-2022-10)#meta #facebook #privacy

       @chriswood Nah, they just want the number/email be verified because you escaped them.#meta #facebook

       @chriswood Mental conflict: To check whether they got my PII scraped, I have to visit THEIR site and enter it? Given the history of that … err … institution (?), I shall believe that they not just save the data I entered and market/abuse it? Because, if they didn't have it yet they'd have it then. Verified by its owner.That's the mess with opt-out and proprietary services: you can never be sure. (Not only) for data collection, opt-in should be mandatory.

       @chriswood “To prevent it from being uploaded to this database again through someone's address book, we need to keep a copy in our block list.”We have to keep a database of the numbers we don’t want in our other database. 🫠

       @matt It’s hard not to laugh at the irony of this isn’t it? 😅
