Facebook changed your email settings

And this why everyone should switch to G+. If Google makes a change, its not defaulted to be open to the damn world. The default is always secure and you can opt in to show yourself off.

FB is just worse in every way.

While your argument can be applied to almost every FB update, and I see you were quite quick to paste it in here, that's not actually the conern of this article.

 

They switched your "this is my email, you can contact me here" address under your profile info to their proprietary facebook email they gave you. If anything, they just hid everyone's true email address in essence giving people more security.

 

I know... strange... But I guess I don't mind.

True, you can look at it that way. However, I look at it as publically displaying a path to contact you that I didn't want and I should have been able to opt-in vs opt-out by default. Though it is good that it is just the FB email account which probably is just your messages or something. But it should be public by default.
