In an attempt to improve email address privacy, Facebook has screwed up big time in what seems like a self-serving attempt to increase usage of @facebook.com email addresses that direct to your Facebook Messages Inbox.Now everyone's personal email addresses have been hidden from their profiles, regardless of previously selected privacy settings. Instead, your @facebook.com contact info is the only one visible to people with permission to see your email addresses. Thismakes it harder for friends to contact you via third-party email unless you reset your controls.I think Facebook should seriously consider a rollback or at least some strong notification of the changes so that 900 million people don't suddenly find their email addresses more closed and disconnected.
