> to my surprise, the dataset included each user’s unique Facebook ID number. Come on Facebook, you should be hiding your internal identifiers from third parties. Ideally each consumer of Facebook data should have its own mapping of identifiers to make it more difficult to combine datasets later on.
Site is down, but the link that fits the title better is [1] anyway,because that is where the dataset originated. This page also has the timeline of the release. Very short timeline, that is, because you can imagine how quickly they had to take it down. [1] http://masonporter.blogspot.de/2011/02/facebook100-data-set....

That deserves a serious wat. How could you be so dumb as to release internal non-opaque IDs.

If so it should be in settings on mobile (is on iPhone at least and it's just a webview). It takes a lot of steps, but definitely there.

That is not true. Only Android phones from the absolutely shittiest manufacturers have malware pre-installed.
My first step for any new Android device is to root it to kill the garbage pre-installed 'system' apps or better yet, if there is an option, install LineageOS. Newer devices are slowly making this more and more difficult with a few exceptions so I now stick to older devices.
