Excellent!
I an a novice with Facebook so this information is a real eye opener for me. Thank you for making it available to fully understand. I’d suggest watching it several times so you get correct information you thought you knew!

Very good.. Thank you.

Hey Nick, your video is a great, easy-to-understand explanation that makes sense for everyone when it comes to FB privacy. I’m always trying to explain this stuff to my friends and clients. I’ll be sharing this all over.

Thanks a bunch ! Very very helpful indeed!

Number 10 did not work.

Thank you for trying to explain this to us but you really should have hired a pro to do the verbal explanation. The girl talked way too fast and didn’t pronounce clearly enough for most people to understand. This was a very good idea but was not helpful because the info was too fast and hard to hear.
Thank you

Number 10 didn’t work for me.

Number 10 doesn’t hide your friends from the rest of your friends. This is one of the serious limitations after the most recent privacy settings changes.

Thanks for this, Nick - really helpful! When I mouse over your AddThis button, though, the default option is Friendster and you have to click through to their whole list to post to Facebook. Just in case you didn’t know…

Nice explanation! Thanks. But I’m still confused on several points:

1. Facebook’s publicly available info includes my list of friends. I can do what you suggest to make it hard to find, but can I really hide it from everyone?

2. FB says applications I use do have access to my publicly available info (PAI), including my list of friends. Seems like there is nothing I can do to change that?

3. What about applications I don’t use? Can developers and others tap into my publicly available info?

4. How do I, as just a FB user, tap into someone else’s PAI?

Video will not open. I have all plugins and viewers. :((

correction…….works now, very useful video, thanks Nick !

I am very pleased that Facebook has taken this authentic and very proactive action to protect the integrity of its users. Security has long been a major concern of mine while using Facebook. Now, users should have a bit more “self-determination” regarding their information.

Does anyone else notice the little note in number 10? It saids friends will always be visible to friends. Along those lines.

My friends do not need to be notified of what I’m writing or even that I’m writing on a mutual friend’s wall, or liking a mutual friend’s post.

This is absolutely insane. What’s Facebook’s solution? Just click “remove” ON EVERY SINGLE POST. I “like” a lot of posts and I spent twice as much time deleting the “Recent Activitiees”

now what can I do about my “recent activity” posts that have littered my wall and newsfeed. I really don’t want everyone to know every time I write on a wall, like a picture or add a friend. That’s just too much info and now facebook has taken the option away.. what do i do???

There’s another problem though. All your friends can seen who you friend and there’s no privacy setting for hiding it. It goes straight to the news feed which makes me think twice now when I’m friending someone.

Why do my wall-to-wall posts show up on the Live Feed of my mutual friends now? There used to be a privacy setting to specifically disable that, but it appears to be gone now.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this? Thx!

Thanks for the video. Very helpful info. Security is such a major issue. Being new to this way of keeping up to date on family was a little scary at first but the security measures helps a great deal.

The #10 IS A BIG LIE ! YOU CAN’T hide your friendlist from your friends, the pencil thing is a lie from facebook. People don’t really check if it works, it doesn’t ! It only hides it for the public but doesn’t hide it for your friends.

How do I hide my friends list from FRIENDS?

I had a very terrifying experience with a stalker a couple years ago (it was someone i knew) and I’m terrified that I no longer have control over my friends list privacy. All someone has to do is click through my friends list and find out all sorts of information about me through their profiles. Agh, this is awful.

I am unable to hide my FRIENDS list… and the feature to block a friend from viewing posts doesn’t work either.

actually the old privacy settings were more customizable than the new ones…the old one gave me full control of everything…the new one is a big bullshit …it actually took away many of the settings that were present in the old privacy settings
all people had to do is click on customize before too, but the new settings took many of the old options away

facebook lies when it says it improved privacy settings! it did not! it made it worse

the friends list function doesn’t even work! I unchecked it and people can still see all my friends

Thanks for the updated tips Nick! I’m still working through a few of the settings myself and getting questions from friends. I hope this doesn’t turn into “my site is better than yours” among Facebook, Twitter, Google etc. and completely leave out the user.

The “hiding friends list” problem is not fixed by the unchecking box option. If a non friend has a mutual friend with you, they can view your entire friends list still. They simply click ‘view all’ on the on the mutual friends box on your public profile and then ‘everyone’. This is a real concern and contradicts FB’s reactionary so called ‘fix’. If they have accepted that you must be able to hide friends from non friends, how can they ignore this flaw?

Excellent! Thank you!
