Facebook's got your number! (of FRIENDS)

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Facebook's got your number! (of FRIENDS)

Not sure if this is "newsworthy" or more appropriate for "tech" but it is definitely interesting! I've wondered how Facebook knows so much about me!

Speaking of Facebook friends, I've got over 300 friend requests in the last couple months that I just haven't gotten around to accepting or denying. Image

I feel so popular, LoL. Image

Interesting article.

I have no friends because I am not on FB :cry:

But seriously, you guys let Fb look at all your email and phone contacts ? What if they don't feel good with that ? And don't you have "private" friends, or friends that mustn't know that you're friends with their enemies/exes?
In a nutshell, whenever you sign up for a Facebook account, Facebook asks permission to look at your e-mail contacts if you’re on a computer, or your phone contacts if you’re on a smartphone. When you grant the site permission, it searches your contacts for users already on the network, and it searches other users’ uploaded contacts for you.
