"Our engineers investigated these reports and found that the messages were older wall posts that had always been visible on the users' profile pages. Facebook is satisfied that there has been no breach of user privacy."
A spokesman for the social network told ZDNet on Tuesday that Facebook had seen such reports before, in late 2011, and they were false then as well. He added that Facebook's systems treat private messages and wall posts very differently on a technical level, and it is simply not possible for one message type to bleed into the other's stream.
Facebook's spokesman also suggested that people used to carry out personal conversations on their walls through back-and-forth posts, particularly before comments and like buttons were introduced.

Sure they weren't conversations before the whole instant chat feature?
How would you know if your friends posts you were seeing weren't public to begin with?
