Mark Zuckerberg: "Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard just @ me. I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS."

"What? How'd you manage that one?" a friend asked.

Name address and so on i, well, understand if you buy something online to fill that in. But sns and id??? Thats all kinds of stupid. Why would you give thata willingly to fb? Its not a government entity or even a bank.

It could be that some of that data was scraped from FB messenger.
