@jurjen_heeck@mastodon.nl @briankrebs@infosec.exchange Even if you have never been registered on Facebook etc.: Facebook knows your mobile number and mail address because other people have already uploaded them. You can delete your phone number/mail address from meta's database via the following website: https://www.facebook.com/contacts/removal

@jurjen_heeck@mastodon.nl With modern phones, you can just deny them the permission to access the data.
