Oh yeah, that's what I really want: for FB to know everything about who I call and who calls me!
Mass market users don't seem to prioritize these kind of values when making software decisions.

#52Is "La Ciccia" good? Looks like one of the owners is actually Italian. Nice little promotion for them.
Facebook? Only use the mobile web site on my phone, thank you!

I have never needed to block a call, so I'm not the customer here. I'm curious what demographic uses call blocking so much that FB wants to advertise directly to them. Is it a problem that younger people face, or something that happens in other countries?
Buy an SSL certificate. Enjoy Comodo calling you 3 times a week, sometimes waking you up, to try to sell security. Even after telling them to stop. (Yeah, I should take it up with the FCC...) Even more fun: point out Comodo's lapses as a CA and say they're the last CA you'd ever deal with. Then the rep smoothly segues into pitching antivirus/"security" software.
I get no spam from gandi.
Also, Let's Encrypt is supposed to launch soon, which should be very interesting.

#54My native phone app for Android already does these things. Block unwanted numbers, gives me the business name if it knows, search for numbers.
I don't know why I would have a need to replace it.
Re: Introducing Hello
#55I think this is the part where I delete Facebook. A step too far.
This is a relatively marginal step in terms of their mining more user data. How is this one so much more egregious than anything else they do?

Nobody is forcing this on anyone. If you find it useful, install it. If you don't, then don't.
But if I don't install it then the people I call still get my information without my knowledge, don't they?
Only if you're connected with them on Facebook. (As I understand it.)
Re: Introducing Hello
#58is it me or the design looks a bit like skype ?
On another note they know the phone number of my friends because of 2FA that most people enabled I guess ? Because most people didn't shared this info. on their profile in my friend circle.
Re: Introducing Hello
#59So they've reinvented Caller ID. How swell.
Re: Introducing Hello
#60From all the blocking, maybe it should be called "no thanks"? :-/
