Facebook to alter policy on sharing address and mobile phone number

I'm sure my relative would appreciate her abusive ex getting his hands on her phone number. (And given past problems with third parties, I have to think this information -- speaking generally if not specifically -- is going to leak.)

You use the cell phone number as part of password recovery / identity verification (as I understand it). And then you do this?

Typical Facebook. Push out a major privacy flaw, then back-tread and play damage control.
