Oh come now, David. The overall mindset of anyone and everyone who uses a schmott phone or any one or other of social media sites is that "My privacy is shot anyway so why try to prevent them from knowing everything about me and everyone I have contact with".
People in general (apparently many of them here as well), are perfectly willing to give away everything for convenience while paying for the privilege of providing it.
