You cannot hide your friend list from apps as well as anybody with a facebook account that is logged in. You can hide your friends list from your page, but Facebook openly states that it is public information and apps still can access it as well. The list is not permanently hidden, even though it may appear that way on your page. Even if you don't use or approve any apps, the apps/games your friends decide to take allows full access to your PAI, which includes your friends, profile pic, gender, location/networks, and fan pages.<br><br>There is a way to see friend lists on FB even though you have unchecked the box on your profile page. Anybody random starnger that signs in to FB can find your friend list. I'm not going to give instructions here, you can find it online at FB governance.<br><br>Also, iPhone app allows you to see other's blocked friends since this is an app. You can't change this!<br><br>DELETE YOUR FANPAGES, NETWORKS, CHANGE PROFILE PIC TO SOMETHING VAGUE. Well, unless you like total random facebook users to see what you look like, where you work, where you like to eat, hang out, who you hate, etc...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[highlife]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 15th 2009 11:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fix Your Troubling (and Possibly Public) Facebook Privacy Settings]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/15/fix-your-troubling-and-possibly-public-facebook-privacy-settin/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/15/fix-your-troubling-and-possibly-public-facebook-privacy-settin/</guid><description><![CDATA[thaats ridonculous, they always change stuff on facebook when its perfectly fine the way it is!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[yu12343214]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 15th 2009 8:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fix Your Troubling (and Possibly Public) Facebook Privacy Settings]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/15/fix-your-troubling-and-possibly-public-facebook-privacy-settin/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/15/fix-your-troubling-and-possibly-public-facebook-privacy-settin/</guid><description><![CDATA[soory karon pako naka open ako facebook<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mickey_april09]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 14th 2010 6:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fix Your Troubling (and Possibly Public) Facebook Privacy Settings]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/15/fix-your-troubling-and-possibly-public-facebook-privacy-settin/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/15/fix-your-troubling-and-possibly-public-facebook-privacy-settin/</guid><description><![CDATA[If you log onto Facebook and go to settings the first thing that pops up is a notice that tells you it is nothing but a rumor about your entire facebook being public info.

As it stood before (and how i like it because it WAS private) was that my name was not 'clickable' to anyone except my friends and that they also could NOT see my profile pic.   Now since this change, I've had all kinds of invites of people i really don't want to associate with. I know what you're thinking, that I can always decline and invitation, but that's not so easy without hurting some feelings along the way.   I'm very upset about this change because facebook forces you into this change.   Facebook lied when they said they've made it more private.  They did not.  <br><br>drking]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[herbarn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 15th 2009 9:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fix Your Troubling (and Possibly Public) Facebook Privacy Settings]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/15/fix-your-troubling-and-possibly-public-facebook-privacy-settin/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/15/fix-your-troubling-and-possibly-public-facebook-privacy-settin/</guid><description><![CDATA[My page used to be completely private, un-findable.  I kept all my settings private when it switched over, but one option was taken away from my.  I had it set so no one could add me as a friend.  If I wanted any other facebook friends, I had to do the adding.  Now, that option is gone.  I can choose between everyone being able to add me, or friends of friends being able to add me.  Not only that, they're advertising me to all the friends of my friends and TELLING them to add me!!!  I turned down dozens of friend requests before changing my profile name an putting picture of a flower as my pic so that no friends of friends would recognize me and try to add me.  I have a public profile already, I just want one for my very closest friends, but I have to have it under an alias.<br><br>So no, there are no private profiles anymore. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Me]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 15th 2009 9:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fix Your Troubling (and Possibly Public) Facebook Privacy Settings]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/15/fix-your-troubling-and-possibly-public-facebook-privacy-settin/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/15/fix-your-troubling-and-possibly-public-facebook-privacy-settin/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why are you even on FB if you're that uptight?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[poot]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 15th 2009 10:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fix Your Troubling (and Possibly Public) Facebook Privacy Settings]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/15/fix-your-troubling-and-possibly-public-facebook-privacy-settin/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/15/fix-your-troubling-and-possibly-public-facebook-privacy-settin/</guid><description><![CDATA[Like I said, I have a public profile, that's where I add everyone under the sun.

The more I hear about Facebook, the more it makes me uncomfortable.<br><br>Less is MORE!!  I'm not on it because of security reasons. If people REALLY want to keep in touch with me, send me an e-mail, text, or pick up the phone.   <br><br>Do you know that your photos are property of Facebook unless you personally put a copyright on it. Yup!  If you write "Joe's photos, inc" or whatever, you own the rights. If you don't, Facebook owns the rights.<br><br>I hear about too much fighting, drama between people, relationship problems and affairs, personal information, military (war) info, admissions of crime, job information, etc.  <br><br>Why is it 20 years ago people had rants and raves about "Big Brother Is Watching", the Government is watching, etc.. but don't think TWICE about putting our lives out there for everyone to read and have their 200+ "friends" on there as well. <br><br>Sometimes, less is more.  For those who enjoy using Facebook, please use wisdom and caution. You never know what will come back to bite you.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[finfan612]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 15th 2009 11:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fix Your Troubling (and Possibly Public) Facebook Privacy Settings]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/15/fix-your-troubling-and-possibly-public-facebook-privacy-settin/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/15/fix-your-troubling-and-possibly-public-facebook-privacy-settin/</guid><description><![CDATA[There are a lot of minors on facebook.

This latest blunder was the final straw.  There has been one fiasco after another with security since I joined earlier this year.  Everything from people hacking and high-jacking your identity, and sending garbage with your name attached to it, to messages and sites infected with computer viruses.  This latest screw-up allowed a crazy person I once met to find me and continue their "fatal attraction" type stalking.  Facebook is not a good thing, nor are the operators of the site trustworthy and responsible to their clientele.<br>It seems that all those social networking situations have the potential to turn out badly.  I've learned my lesson and am done with social networking!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Beardsley57]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 15th 2009 11:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Fix Your Troubling (and Possibly Public) Facebook Privacy Settings]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/15/fix-your-troubling-and-possibly-public-facebook-privacy-settin/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/15/fix-your-troubling-and-possibly-public-facebook-privacy-settin/</guid><description><![CDATA[Don't forget, Facebook owns any and all information you provide to them, even if you delete your account.
