Facebook tries to protect the email address of your friends for several reasons, and FB has the right to do so. The application used optical character recognition (OCR) to scan the page and translate the text in the picture into digital text. FB does not share this information with apps.

Its my data. The only thing they are preventing me from doing, is integrating more quickly into another website of my choice. But sooner or later, I will.Yes, they are my friends!

If they don't want you to know those things, then you're screwed. Why don't you just ASK them instead of TAKING??Respect people's privacy!

No way. If I want someone to know that information, I will be the one to give it to them. Otherwise, it's none of your business. Spammers AND Hackers could very easily get this stuff and screw you over. Far too much potential to be abused.No, Terms of Service trumps!
In my book, anything is accepted to protect me from spammers!No, Terms of Service trumps!

I think friends should be allowed, but it is obviously going to be used for spamming purposes, especially now that facebook is open to everyone.No, Terms of Service trumps!

I don't see a problem with exporting your friends' birthdays and email addresses. What I do see a problem with is the potential to use or tweak the program to get personal information from people who aren't your friends.Yes, they are my friends!
If I can import my friends to Facebook then I should be able to export them!
