>This is a really stupid move. If someone is viewing my profile and looking for an email address, they're not looking for this one. If that was the case they could just message me through the website.
This seems painfully obvious to me. I am willing to assume that this change in visibility of email addresses was inadvertent or just a simple misthought choice, but it seems far more arrogant of Facebook to think that I'm going to use them as an email client. Ever. Besides the privacy implications, Facebooks messages feature and email, basically be definition and by 5+ years of usage, indicates that they're not the same thing.
This is the worst possible way I've seen someone use email, and I'm someone who will often use Facebook messages as it's a more reliable way of getting in touch with someone than email.
