Meta's Oversight Board has advised the social network to change its policy on allowing the sharing of people's addresses, even if the information is considered public.
Meta requested the advice last year - the first time it has asked the board to help define one of its policies.
It follows a series of leaks on social media of high-profile people's addresses.
This so-called doxxing could cause real-world harms, the board advised.
Doxxing refers to the release of private information about individuals online, usually with malicious intent.
