My Facebook friends list is private, because there are some people I don't want to show I am friend with.A while ago I created a Bob account for testing purposes and added Bob as a friend.PROBLEM: Every week or so, Bob's email adress receives such an email:Do you know Deng Yaping, Liu Guoliang and 8 others?  People You May Know  Add the people you know to see their photos and updates.  Deng Yaping  Tibet University[... 9 more names, with their networks and link to their profiles ...]That defeats the purpose of having my friends list private.Is it a bug that affects only me?Or is it a known issue?Is there a solution, or should I just refrain from using Facebook?Note: I am aware that Bob can see the friends with whom I have any post/like/comment/tag activity, I am more concerned about some friends with whom I only exchange private messages.
Friend list private but Facebook reveals it with Do you know X,Y,Z emails
facebook;privacy;private network
I should note that if someone adds JUST him and gets these emails. Much like he set up the Bob account. They would only receive emails about friends on HIS account. Since he'd be their only friend it would be rather obvious wouldn't it? I'd say it's a problem with facebook's privacy for sure.
