For years, the phone number and the e-mail address in the platform, using the facility of searching 'bitter people', the information is found in Facebook. British tabloid Mirror has reported that the facility has been removed from the site.
In this way, data from the 'most' user profiles could be collected, said the world's largest social media. Facebook chief technology officer Mike Shoffar said, "For this reason we have stopped this feature."

It said that seven percent of all searches made to find a profile of a person from Bangladesh would be done by phone number.

Since the allegation of data corruption in the US presidential election of 2016, Donald Trump's data analyst Cambridge analyzed the allegations, and the company was under pressure from critics, policy makers and investors. Facebook has revealed that the information is about five crore and nine million, according to the London-based Cambridge Analyktika-based data. The news has further increased the pressure on the organization.

UK Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sports Matt Hankak said on Thursday, "Facebook has put more than a million people in danger of data."

Before Facebook, users were encouraged to add phone numbers to their account. The organization's claim, it is easier to connect with friends and increase the security of the account. Users can decide whether to show the phone number in the profile, but the default system is that anyone can find out their profile by searching for someone's phone number.
