Journalist Kashmir Hill experimented with Facebook, launching an ad targeted at the familiar Alan Mislov. The advertisement was aimed at a number that he never indicated on the social network. It is also noted that Facebook allows targeting by numbers that were used for two-factor authentication, and numbers from contacts of other users.
