If someone provides me their contact details, I will never provide it to anyone else, even if directly asked, without the original person's express consent. For me, it's common privacy courtesy, something most of these social sites are lacking. In my personal, everyday, feet-on-the-pavement interactions, I use the following:

If you've added me as a friend and made your contact info available, then I should be able to export that data and use it where I want to. It's like you giving me your phone number, but telling me not to ever call you because it would invade your privacy. I'm your *friend*, Facebook isn't.
