Please consider hiding your friend's list to help them stay a little safer on Facebook? Since May 2010 Facebook offers us the ability to stop showing them on your profile. This note will show you how.
Once you have logged in to Facebook, on the top right of the page, click on the Account tab and thenselect the "Privacy Settings" option.
Once you have done this, in the area titled "Connecting on Facebook," click on the link that says "View Settings," which is the one pointed by the arrow in the picture below:
Once you have done that, you will be directed to a new page with a list of items. In that list, near the middle of the screen, look for the item that says “See your friend list”.
At the right side of this item you will see a button. Click on it and a menu will appear, in which you will have to select 'Custom.'
Then you will see a window with a drop-down list near a label that says “These people.” In that list, select 'Only Me,' and finally click on the button that says 'Save Setting.'
Keep in mind that, although your list of friends will not appear on your profile, there are still other ways in which people can see it, such as by using an application. This is because in December 2009 Facebook declared that all users' lists of friends are public information. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION AND BE CAREFUL WHAT WE CLICK!!!
We are currently all at the mercy of so many spammers and scammers, and even though we try our hardest to protect ourselves, Facebook has our hands virtually tied!
We as users, should have full control of who tags us at anytime by asking us permission first... like when we are asked permission before we approve a friend request.
We as users should have the right to decide what is and is not made public - with NO EXCEPTIONS made by Facebook. it's advertisers, or the apps. Especially since a lot of these apps open us to all kinds of threats from spammers and scammers.
