“Facebook Revealed Private Email Addresses Last Night”

I’m not sure whether Facebook, as an entity, is suicidal, or it’s just so big that at any given time it employs a bunch of disgruntled developers eager to plant nasty easter eggs in the code before they leave.

By the way, just a hint (since comparable stuff is bound to happen again, and again, and again): if you find that Facebook is revealing your e-mail address to the public, and you care about keeping it secret, then maybe you shouldn’t post about it on Twitter (or Facebook status, as I’m sure some people also did) until after the bug has been solved?

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
