It asks the user if they would like to have email accounts scanned. At least it does if you use Gmail, Yahoo, etc.

You don't read forms when you sign up to places either it appears lol

There's a friend finder that requires your email login and password to match emails. Giving a third party site your login details is madness for starters, but imagine what they can do with data matching when they grab all of the email headers...

I remember a thread here some time ago that mentioned something similar, it seems FB stores the contents of your address book and when someone with a matching email address joins it tells THEM about your profile. That way someone who emailed you once can still find you, even if you've changed your email address and have a different profile name. I think that was the issue, anyway.

My sisters and cousins names comes up right next to the guys I blew at bath houses. wtf?

Someone in my family who I dont like and dont talk to must have just signed up for facebook because I got an invite from him. He would never send me an invite, so Facebook must have gone through his personal emails, found my email address, and sent one to me.

if you don't like their terms - don't join

simple really
