Did you know that before cellular phones were a thing, the phone company regularly sent out books with everyone’s name, phone number, and sometimes even their address in them?
You could even find such a book in public in these little things called “Phone booths”.

You’ve missed the point. The phone numbers are not the valuable information. What’s valuable is the list of each person’s social contacts.

Haha. Oh you really got me. Good one.
To really drive in your point, why don’t you post the names and phone numbers of the three people you contact most frequently. Don’t worry, those numbers are already in the phone book. It’s ok, you’re just sharing publicly available information.
