Bangalore: Sometimes it feels like Facebook tries too hard to be the company with perfect customer service. For instance in its recent foolish errands to secure customer information, it replaced the public email domain names with its own domain name, irrespective of the user’s privacy settings.

To put it in a more lucid manner, your Facebook profile’s “About” page would no more display an @gmail.com or @yahoo.com but an email address with @facebook.com. All the messages sent to this address would be directed to the user’s Facebook message box, creating a very irate group of users who would want to contact their acquaintances with third party email services using the information available on the social networking website.  

“The fact is that millions of people might expect their friends to be able to grab their Gmail or other personal email address from their profile, because well, that’s how they set it up. It’s irresponsible of Facebook to modify these settings without telling people,” writes Josh Constine from Facebook.

In spite of several negative feedbacks about the timeline and other unintelligent features recently adapted by Facebook, the new automatic privacy settings seems to be a bad move by Zuckerberg and team. "Ever since the launch of timeline, people have had the ability to control what posts they want to show or hide on their own timelines, and today we're extending that to other information they post, starting with the Facebook address," Jillian Stefanski, spokesperson of Facebook, told IBN Live justifying the worth of a rickety business model the company is standing on.
