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.)<p>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.
