Of privacy

There is someone on Facebook who just sent a message to probably all his contacts to ask them for their address, if they want him to send them an invitation to his wedding. And now a whole lot of people are replying to the whole bunch of people, which certainly includes people they don't know, more or less, and giving their address to all these people!

What craziness is this?! What do you think you're doing, giving your address to random strangers?! What if I publish all your addresses online and when the wedding is, so that burglars will know when you're not at home?!?!

I do so wish I could do that...but then I might get sued or get thrown into jail. So I shall refrain. But I would dearly love to do that. -_-

So instead, I'm wondering...is there any way to delete myself from a Facebook mailing list?


Psst. By the way. 48 people on the mailing list (one of them the sender, meaning 47 possible "replyers", 46 if you don't count me in). 15 people sent me their addresses. Two asked the guy to give them the invitation by hand (I wonder whether they would have given their addresses if it weren't possible to receive the invitation by hand). So that already makes more than 30% of the "population" who give their addresses away to the world.

Edit (5th April): Plus 6. That makes 21 out of the 46 possible replyers.

Edit (6th April): And another one.

Edit (8th April): Satu lagi!
