Facebook Breaks Its Own Privacy Rules



I have public search disabled on my Facebook account. Facebook is for my friends and I to keep in touch, not for strangers, stalkers, and marketers to search for my name and find me.

However, as you can clearly see from the image, my name and facebook page appears in the first page of Google results for my name -- on FACEBOOK JAPAN.

I have never been to Japan, I do not speak Japanese, and I 100% surely have never been on facebook.jp. Also, Boulder, CO is not in Japan. This appears to be a clear violation of Facebook's own privacy policy.
