Facebook changes everyone's listed emails to '@facebook.com'

Coverage Type: 

Without asking for permission, Facebook has changed users' listed email address to one ending in "@facebook.com." The changed was discovered June 24, and has resulted in either users having their @facebook.com address being listed or simply having all of their other addresses be hidden.

The @facebook.com email service was announced in 2010, but it hasn't really gained traction as a replacement to other email service. It makes sense for the social network to want to promote its own service, but the way it's gone about it is sure to upset some people. To change back your email address, go to your profile, click "Update info," scroll down to "Contact Info" and click "Edit." Select with whom you want to share each individual email address and to the right of that choose whether you want your email displayed on your timeline or not.
