Fix Your Troubling (and Possibly Public) Facebook Privacy Settings (Switched)

Dec 15th 2009 7:58PM @ballerv8, it's only superficial. 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.

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.

Also, iPhone app allows you to see other's blocked friends since this is an app. You can't change this!

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...
