Can I hide my friends on Facebook from my friends? - Hello2010 - 11-09-2012 05:01 PM

Hi,

Is there a way to hide my friends on Facebook, so that only my friends can see the mutual friend we have?

Maybe this will help you (from Facebook):
How can I use Friend Lists to help control my privacy?

You can use Friend Lists to create different privacy levels for different groups of your friends. This allows you to selectively open more of your profile to the people closest to you. From the Profile Information section of your Privacy Settings page, clicking "Customize" will open a field for "Hide this from these people." Adding a friend or Friend List name here will hide the information in question from these people when they view your profile.

If you add a user to more than one Friend List, and those Friend Lists have conflicting privacy settings, the more restrictive of the privacy settings will always be respected.

If you enter three or more friends as an exception, you’ll have the option to create a new Friend List to group these people. You can create, edit and delete Friend Lists from your Friends page.

Unfortunately, since the privacy changes in December 2009, Facebook users cannot hide their "list of friends" from people in it. Users that had their list hidden were automatically forced to reveal it without their consent.

This was very controversial, and many people left Facebook because of this reason.
