FYI, Zuckerberg's _not_ referring to the EULA or TOS. He's talking about this dialog box in the app itself:

Specifically, the very first sentence of the dialog box, which says:

> Continuously upload info about your contacts like phone numbers and nicknames, and your call and text history.

The article's not entirely clear on that point, so I thought I'd mention it here.

Thanks for the screenshot. That's a pretty clear and overt prompt.

...And one I would never agree to, yet my address book is in my Facebook data export. I wonder what previous iterations of that prompt looked like, especially around the time of Android 4.0, which must have been about when I installed the app. Does anyone know if there are old screenshots, or historic versions of the APK available anywhere to check?
