Facebook was testing a new feature.

Here's the full statement from Facebook Chief Privacy Officer Erin Egan:
"We recently found a bug that automatically suggested posting publicly when some people were creating their Facebook posts. We have fixed this issue and starting today we are letting everyone affected know and asking them to review any posts they made during that time. To be clear, this bug did not impact anything people had posted before – and they could still choose their audience just as they always have. We'd like to apologize for this mistake."
How did this happen? The company says it was testing out a new feature, one that would suggest people share featured profile items publicly. But Facebook accidentally set "public" as the default for posts, too. If you shared a post to Facebook during that period, and didn't notice that your default sharing setting had changed, you would have broadcast it out to the world.
