Facebook's e-mail debacle: One 'bug' fix, but roll...
It's more like someone sending a change-of-address card to the post office to have your mail delivered to their Mailboxes Etc. store.

That's actually a really good analogy. And the GP is right. There should definitely be some laws to prohibit these kinds of things that Facebook is attempting (doing), now that electronic mail/communication is becoming standard.

As a matter of fact, the (US) Postal Inspector considers this to be Identity Theft.

Interesting. I wonder why no legal action has been taken against Facebook for this recent fiasco... or has there?
