It is beyond me why Facebook would not consider this a privacy issue, if not a bug.
I just can't imagine they intended to allow strangers to view the mutual friends of anyone, so the person that responded to this bug report probably didn't understand it, or is clueless, because the way this feature should work is obvious.
Just allow to view the mutual friends between yourself and your friends.
- okamiueru 12y agoBetween yourself and anyone, I assume you meant. If not-your-fb-friends make their friends list public, I don't see why you shouldn't be able cross reference that.
- DominikR 12y agoLike I stated in a comment above: The current behaviour allows you to uncover mutual friends between person A that has all connections hidden, and another person B that does not. There's no way that I could know which specific friends of person B are also on the friendslist of person A just by looking at person Bs friendslist. I also tested that "hack" with one of my friends that has all connections hidden. (I only see 1 mutual friend and no other friends) The result was that I could see 38 mutual friends between him a the mutual friend I have with him. And yes, that's what I meant. English is not my native language.
