    Default New Facebook Privacy Settings

    Does anyone know how to hide your friends list from friends with the new settings released today?

    You can't even disable 'Add Friend' option or 'Send a Message'.

    As far as I've seen, the new settings combat third party applications but were actually counter-productive otherwise.

    Its a 'social networking site'.
    Meant to reconnect you with friends, etc...
    I can see the reason to switch off/block apps.. i cant stand these, but to block friends list, that seems to be going a little too far.

    What's to hide... You FBI?

    People always stalk on Facebook, I only use it for networking while limiting most of its features.

    You only have the option of letting 'Everyone' or Friends of Friends see it.

    You can no longer disable it.

    I want to disable that too, but no luck
    So far you can only choose only friends and select specific people to not see your friends list

    Don't see what the hurt is in adding the featuer

    If you click on your profile and scroll down to your friends list there is a paint brush. Click on that and an edit box appears, you can now uncheck show my friends in profile. I hope this helps.

    EDIT opps guess I should have read the post above since it was already answered

    You shouldn't have to resort to using workarounds, but you could create a List, with all of your friends and select "Edit Custom Settings". Under "Except These People", select that List.

    WTF....who do you need to hide all these things from. If the content on your page is not showable to everyone you accept as a friend...obviously you have a problem
