I have never heard of any leaks of private messages (by facebook, let's not count shoulder surfing or the counterparty telling) coming back to haunt the people who wrote them. So the risk you are mentioning seems more theoretical than the very real risk if a friend runs it.
Would you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and especially ideological flamebait to HN? It's not what this site is for, and we ban accounts that do it.
