I have a canned response txt, that I send, when declining the call.
I often get “message failed to send,” but I sometimes get a confused text from someone, telling me they didn’t call.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Phone number meant to be private shouldn’t be associated with any other info whatsoever.
Whats the rationale behind this? Outside of prank calling, I don't see what the benefit of having a private phone number. When I hit someone's voice mail I can get their name, so it's not like most people consider it to be private.
What's the benefit of having a public phone number? You get more advertisements and spam. With a private phone number only people you've given the number to will call you. You can limit who can bother you.

password reset flows are generally a privacy leak if you use email as some kind of account key, you can generally find out whether that email has signed up (if not the username) automatic password reset and email verification are good for businesses and users in a lot of ways so this is a tradeoff if FB is showing the specific account linked to an SMS that's IMO negligent but shrug, they employ more lawyers than I do…
Whether or not you have an account, the system says a reset email has been sent.

I don't post my real phone number on Facebook, and I don't know why anyone would.
If anyone with you as a contact uses Facebook then Facebook probably knows it anyway
So useful.
I also loved the first release of graph search (not the dumbed down version they released shortly after) which was letting you specify very specific queries. I managed to find a girl I met on a train (whose number I stupidly didn't ask) just with her first name, university and knowing something she liked.
Later on, trying to replace graph search, I had to write some hacky scripts to scrape data across a network of friends (likes, groups, friends, who interacted with you on your public profile + recursively scrape data from friends of friends) to find people.

Are you being sarcastic about the FTC? https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2019/07/ftc-i...
