That is because the info that is available at http://graph.facebook.com/name http://graph.facebook.com/name is <= the info that is available at http://facebook.

That is because the info that is available at http://graph.facebook.com/name http://graph.facebook.com/name is <= the info that is available at http://facebook.com/name http://facebook.com/name . What part of your account are you trying to stop from being accessed? This makes no sense.
- thamer 16y agoMy “graph” link is public, but my “public page” link is not. It might be because I don’t allow my profile to appear in public searches (non logged in), but still they made it visible to anyone in the graph API. I hope they add a privacy setting to change this.
- geuis 16y agoI don't like the fact that Facebook makes any of my data available and doesn't provide me options to make it private at will. I have my privacy settings turned all the way up for everything. Perhaps I, and others, simply would like to not have any of our data available in this manner.
- dhimes 16y agoI agree with you. As of now, your only option is to not use fb.
- koanarc 16y agoThat's good advice. For anyone interested in taking it, see "How to permanently delete your Facebook account": http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=16929680703 http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=16929680703
- davetufts 16y agoI set my profile to private. I turned off "Public Search Results" and "Facebook Search Results" is set to "Only Friends". If you're not logged in, my URL returns a 404: http://www.facebook.com/davetufts http://www.facebook.com/davetufts (or by ID: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=603069147 http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=603069147 ) Not a huge deal, because the graph page only shows my name and ID, but they are publicly accessible: http://graph.facebook.com/davetufts http://graph.facebook.com/davetufts or http://graph.facebook.com/603069147 http://graph.facebook.com/603069147
- fhars 16y agoAppending /picture?type=large to your graph page works, too. Uh, oh...

- Torn 16y agoI can see the following as a logged-in facebook user, which is identical to what the graph api returns: http://imgur.com/8y8hf.png http://imgur.com/8y8hf.png I'm not seeing a discrepancy here?
- davetufts 16y agoLike I said, the discrepancy is if you're NOT logged in.
- Torn 16y agoI'm not seeing an issue here though -- that profile information was readily available in html (if you have a facebook cookie) and is now even more accessible via json. In fact, the json api gives out less information than the html frontend (e.g. all 18 pages you currently follow).
- fhars 16y agoLike he said, the discrepancy is when you are not logged in. I can see his info and his private profile pic although I don't even have a facebook account and the html version gives me a 404.
- sp332 16y agoIt's not a big deal, anyone could make a throwaway FB account and see the same data. The difference is almost immeasurable.
