Facebook Changed Everyone's Email to Facebook.com;...
I can confirm that my profile was modified to hide my real email address without permission. This appears to be more than a hype piece.

Same thing happened to me - but I got a notification. Then changed it right back again.

They did this a couple of days ago; I think I noticed it on Saturday...

I'm willing to bet most news agencies/blogs sat on it until today to reach a more people.

Happened to me and my gf as well.. I can't make up my mind if this was meant for better privacy (by hiding our real email address).

I think it helps more people than it hurts though.

By protecting their "private" data, that is, hiding their email address. For public profiles that is.

I'm not 100% certain on this but I think you could hide your email on your profile already.
