To find out that there is no privacy guard against someone you've added as a friend is horrifying! How much else have they gotten wrong?</p><p>I'm beginning to have my doubts about Facebook, honestly....</p><p>EDITED TO CORRECT: Apparently, I misread the labels on my friend list privacy settings, and thought that I had barred a particular list (semi-friends) from seeing something, when only Limited Profile had been prevented from seeing that.<br>With that fix, FB privacy settings seem to be working again (I have not verified my privacy settings from another account, only used the impersonation function, so take this with a grain of salt). Perhaps a fairly short-term bug on FB's part, corrected some time between your post and my test just now?<br>(BTW, all, sorry for that amazing mistake on my part. No excuse for seeing it wrong. I deeply apologize.)</p>nathantuggySun, 21 Jun 2009 01:49:25 -0000
