Silly Facebook...
what surprises me is that people are shocked. The bug its self is shocking but the fact Facebook is harvesting information... are people really that surprised? I wouldnt be surprised if Facebook knows more about us than our governments (except the american government... I doubt facebook listens to our phone conversations :P)
Data is power these days and facebook is just going to keep on harvesting that sweet, sweet personal information.
I got a mail from FB with the exact same message saying they had screwd up. The most wtf moment of the email was when they had my contact number listed in the email, I have never uploaded my contact number on my fb profile.
So you are friends with a person on Facebook, and this bug allowed them to see your private email address?<p>I don't see what people are so outraged by. If you're friends with someone on Facebook, why is your email address so private? And what will these Facebook friends DO know that they know your email address?!?<p>If I was snarky, I would say if you can't share your email address with a friend, choose better friends. But I won't say that. But still. Not worth so much outrage over.<p>Hey, the government is reading your emails even though they know you're an American just in case there is evidence of some crime in there. Be angry over that.
