Another app that uploads address books to servers unencrypted. I just don't get people thinking this is the price of using social apps.

That's like thinking that FedEx might open my mail and make a photocopy and store it in an unlocked file cabinet in their waiting room because I chose to use their service. "That's just the price of being social. It makes it easier for us to send you packages later." Please stop suggesting this is the inevitable result of having data. It's the inevitable conclusion of VC funding, that's all.
