I had a look at this Facebook data policy after getting numerous annoying requests from them to give them my phone number... bloody cheek of them :-P

That is pretty scary!

Last year, hotmail was changed over to Outlook.
Like so many other's I never fully read all the emails relating to the update.

It was months later, that I spotted my FB pic was now attached to all my outgoing hotmail emails !
I don't know how many sent emails had my photo on them, but I certainly didn't want it!

Just a small section of what goes off in facebook land.. makes you think.
