It must be a buried option. I had set up a Facebook account about a year ago so I could look for 50th year reunion classmates on FB. Since I really did not want an account, I used a not-real name, and a Gmail address that I keep for, um, testing purposes. I did have about a dozen real addresses in the Gmail address book. During the FB signup process, I noticed a cryptic, short textbox about three lines high, that contained a checkbox (pre-checked) for all those real addresses! The only way to NOT "invite everyone in my address book" was to manually UN-check each and every one. Obviously, there was/is breach-of-privacy collusion between Google Gmail and Facebook. How else would my "private" Gmail addresses get listed on the Facebook signup pages? (I would never use Gmail for my real email business.) >> And it isn't SeaMonkey's fault. > > No, and I never said it was. ...
