This has been the case for a while. Anything you paste there will be seen by everyone + google. I did a simple pastebin for myself a while back that doesnt have a public directory - http://tinypaste.com - Also has code compilation built in, via codepad

I think you've missed the point. It's not interesting that public pastes are public; it's interesting that pastebin is being used as a dead drop.
