Facebook reiterated its plan to make users' addresses and phone numbers available to third-party developers in a letter (PDF) to US Representatives Ed Markey (D-MA) and Joe Barton (R-TX).

Facebook announced in January via its Developer Blog that it would soon make it easier for companies to use an API to get users' personal information, such as their home addresses and phone numbers. Developers who choose to do so are required to adhere to Facebook's Platform Policies, which forbid them from misleading or spamming users, and users still have to give each app permission to access the information before it becomes available to anyone.
