Google Plus solved this exact problem 5 years ago with "circles", letting you choose what to share with which groups of "friends". Why hasn't Facebook implemented this?
- kristianc 10y agoThey actually have - and make it a bit easier than G+ did - with Groups and Smart Lists. They also added a separate tier called 'Acquaintances' that you could add people to a while back. However most users don't make use of it and will either share with Public or Friends. The only exception is things like groups - which are popular with things like neonatal classes and sports teams.
