They Know You’re Reading This

For those who missed it, this company Path got busted for downloading users' contacts from their phones without their knowledge. They say they did delete the contacts after they got caught, but the most disturbing aspect to me is that, as with other scraping techniques, it's third parties' information being handed over. So the doublemasses saying, "IF U DUIN WANT YORE STUFF PUBLIC, DO NOT PUT IT ON THE INTORNET" are, well, doublemasses. You just have to be careful not to give your contact information to anyone who might intentionally or accidentally use a scraper, I guess.
