Facebook last Wed. voiced new privacy settings that give users some further control of what info they share, while taking away the capability to cover some pieces of info from the public. One actual piece of publicly published information— user’s friends lists caused a little bit of a chaos from a number of sectors, including entrepreneurs who don't always need to expose their pro networks to the general public and their competition.
It's also a concern to some folks who may not want their kids--or an inventory of their kids' friends--to be generally available. Facebook quickly backtracked. One day later, the company related on its blog that users can now uncheck the "Show my friends on my profile" option in the Chums box on their profile so that your chum list will not appear on your in public viewable profile.
You cannot hide your mates from your friends and applications Unchecking that box will hide your chums list when a non-Facebook pal perspectives your public profile, but it won't hide your Facebook chums list from your buddies when they look at your profile.
Also, this info should be available to applications and application developers. Additionally, this process doesn't hide other publicly published info including your name, profile picture, sex, current town, networks you belong to, and pages you are keen on. Double-check your privacy settings Most Facebook users have by this time gone through the imperative privacy settings magician, but you can revisit your settings at any point by hovering over settings in the tool bar on the pinnacle of the screen and picking privacy settings. If you do not do this, a fair quantity of your info could be available to the general public including the names of your youngsters and other family members (with links to their Facebook accounts), your relationship standing, and where you're employed. To discover how your Facebook profile looks to the general public, click Profile info in privacy settings and then on Preview My Profile...on the higher right section of that page.
