If lawyers are reading this, a question: Our governments are treating our emails more and more like real mail (aka. letters). Is there not a law prohibiting third party people or companies to mess with(fake) my mail addresses? Fact is, I do not want a facebook email address. And I have given no consent for my email address to be changed.

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?
