What's up with these new privacy settings for facebook? - Steven - 11-09-2012 01:06 PM

Well, before, my friend list was hidden, and everything was on private, but suddenly, everything can be seen. I had to go to Privacy Settings and set every single thing visible to friends only. But somehow, my wall can still be seen, and my friend list can still be seen, also my pages can be seen. What the hell is going on? How do I fix this?

Maybe you are only setting it to friends of friends and not friends only. I don't really know though.

It's supposed to help prevent cyberbullying or something like that

When you log in, a prompt should come up for you to fix the settings. When you would sign up for an account, certain things were set to friends only by default. The new settings put an end to that. Default is now for everyone.

Stupid facebook.

i think you got hacked if the settings changed so abruptly
change your password then do the following:

if u want to hide your wall then choose then choose the settings customize then click only me

set everything to only friends
if you want your friends and their friends( mutual friends) to see your info set to friends of friends

chk out the following source it may be very useful :

I am having exactly the same problem! It doesn't seem possible any more to hide your wall and friends. It's really screwed up now and I have looked over all the privacy settings but there doesn't seem to be a way to fix it.
