Email addresses --you need to share them to allow people to message you. That's how they work.

And this is really a nonissue since getting more addresses is so damn easy (well, spam and spambots is another story and the reason one might hide them from the open internet)... Facebook didn't get in trouble because of this.
Totally missing the point. There was no warning that his email address was going to be made public. If he had known, he could have used a "throwaway" address instead of the one he'd rather have kept private ( or for selective personal use).
