Facebook kept this one quiet, just like Yahoo does with their changes. For
those of you concerned about your information being distributed without your
knowledge:

Facebook will automatically index all your info on Google, which allows
everyone to view it. To change this option, from your Facebook page, go to
Settings --> Privacy Settings --> Search --> then UN-CLICK the box that says
'Allow indexing'.
Hope this will help keep our lists from being plished.

Facebook may be flawed and evil, but this is incorrect. The "Allow Indexing" setting does not bypass Facebook's (admittedly confusing and inadequate) privacy controls. It only allows Google to index content that you've already made public.

Please note: *content that you've already made public.* If this concerns you, you need to go into the privacy settings, read them, understand them, and set them appropriately, not just believe and spread around a fake internet security chain letter.

We now return you to the discussion of costume.
