Facebook: Congressmen Sent You A Message

Facebook: Congressmen Sent You A Message: "Some, such as media critic Jeff Jarvis, came to Facebook's defense. He called the Journal report an overreaction because the user information was already publicly available.
'The White Pages reveal I use the phone. So?' Jarvis wrote on Twitter. He said in an interview later that traditional media and marketing companies have long exposed far more personal information.
'Publications sell their subscriber lists, manufacturers sell their warranty lists, and those have (people's) real names and addresses. That has long existed,' Jarvis said. 'What's the real harm here is the key question. The worst harm is that someone delivers to you a more targeted ad.'"
