Your
Private Facebook Friends List Isn't Actually That Private
There appear to be some things on
Facebook you just can't hide.
The social network allows you to set the visibility of
Your Friends list, so if you want to keep
That List private, you can do so by setting the
List visibility to "Only Me." The problem is
That other users can still see some of
Your Friends even if they can't access the full list, and while
Facebook explains some of this on the privacy setting screen, the "Only Me" setting doesn't
Actually limit
Your Friends List to
only you.
