I don't believe Facebook made this decision lightly. I'd like to believe that if they found that by releasing this information it placed their users in jeopardy, they wouldn't have done it. Call me naive if you want.
I didn't pay much attention to the whole privacy controls thing. I assume that I am just like millions of other people who just clicked the "Close" button quickly so I could check my wall posts. With that said, I basically operate under the assumption that whatever information I put on that site, its going to be broadcast out to the world. Just like I know that whatever comments I post here on HN can be searched on Google and read by whomever. I think most people in my generation know this.
