What is happening to Facebook privacy settings?

[the_unluckiest]

I agree with you. I enjoyed and truly miss the old privacy settings. I loved being invisible to EVERYONE and the fact barely anyone knew I had facebook unless I friended them (since they couldn't find me). This ensured that I only had REAL friends on Facebook and not a bunch of acquaintances etc. Now I keep getting friend requests from EVERYONE I didn't want to know that I have facebook simply because the most secure "add a friend" option is "friend of friend". WTF? I want it to be "No one" like it was before.

I get that it's a social networking tool, but I don't think it's right that Facebook decides on our behalves that we MUST be visible (to people who have mutual friends with us) without our consent. Shouldn't we choose who we want to socialize with? It's annoying!
