Facebook continues to push users towards more sharing

Check out this recent email that Facebook sent after I joined a network:
Hey [name],

You recently added the SHSU network to your Facebook account.  To confirm your affiliation with the [university name] network, follow the link below: [link here] (If clicking on the link doesn't work, try copying and pasting it into your browser.)

If you did not add the [university name] network to your account, please disregard this message.
Please visit the following link if you have any questions: http://www.facebook.com/help.php?topic=network_confirmation

Thanks,
The Facebook Team
Can you guess what Facebook did? They added [university name] to all my custom settings and set my information previously only visible to five people visible through out the [university name] network. Not a very good idea, facebook!
