"  You know how sometimes it just feels like you&amp;#039;re not sharing enough personal information on Facebook? Well you&amp;#039;ll be delighted to see the new &amp;quot;Ask&amp;quot; buttons popping up on people&amp;#039;s profiles. It&amp;#039;s part of a new update that allows you to ask your friends for information they either don&amp;#039;t share publicly or declined to input altogether, like their phone number, home address, email, or even their relationship status. In other words, get ready to have 90 personal info requests from that creep who friended you after meeting at da club on Saturday. When someone requests info from you, they get a message asking if they&amp;#039;d like to share their phone number/relationship status/address with you too, or with everyone on Facebook. Then you can approve or deny their request and send them your info. Or, you know, just ignore the alert like you do with every event request ever. On top of being a prime tool for weirdos, the Ask button is also just Facebook getting your friends to work for them. It&amp;#039;s no secret that the social network can sell off your info, and the more complete the profile, the more it&amp;#039;s worth to marketing execs. So think about that the next time one of your old college friends sends you a weirdly robotic message asking where you live.
