Facebook Contact Phone List problem how to resolve!

As many of you know, lately Facebook has made it so, that all of its members by default would be able to view one another's phone number's in your contacts list. Something that either Facebook lagged to explain at first hand to its users or was intentionally done in a sneaky way to get the attention of phone contacts, without the consent of the user. Many of us do not even care to see each and every detail over and over again in our account settings on Facebook.

A few weeks a go, many of you where very angry about the rapid changes that Facebook did in their sneaky way. As of this post here "Facebook: We Aren’t Stealing Your Phone Numbers And Posting Them So Everyone Can See", Facebook's answer was very calm in a way. Reading that column made me rage in a way!

But rage didn't help so take a peak on how to see your friends mobile or land line phones for your self to see what I mean. Go to your Account in Facebook then press Edit Friends. See screenshot here. On your left side you will see this.

Then You will see a list of your friends... and mobile or land-line phones.

This is how Facebook sneakingly put this for their new so called mobile application and so to use and call your friends. As of course most users DO NOT even know of this even now still. How are people convinced to just add their mobile or land-line phones on Facebook? Well, as you should know it was a way for as a security to your own account to have this. But regardless you thought your phone number is secure, you thought Facebook will never do this to its own users. Bad decision by Facebook!

There is a way to disable this option if you still need to add your phone number either by means for your security retrieval of in case you lost your password or your account was stolen or hacked. This setting was found to disable it from your friends contact list view as I saw this just today in my own settings.

Just disable it by un-checking the box below the confirmation box. I hope this should somehow satisfy most people that where angry just like me about this subject.
