The social network allows you to set the visibility of your friends
list, so if you want to keep that list private, you can do so by setting
the list visibility to "Only Me." The problem is that other users can
still see some of your friends even if they can't access the full list,
and while Facebook explains some of this on the privacy setting screen,
the "Only Me" setting doesn't actually limit your friends list to only you.
Users can't identify any mutual friends between two users who both
have their friends list set to private (e.g., mutual friends between
Zuckerberg and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg). They could, potentially,
use the strategy above to piece together a larger portion of
Zuckerberg's friends list.
By using the 248 mutual friends as a foundation, a user could compare
Zuckerberg's friends list to any of these 248 that share their list
publicly. It may not return every Facebook friend Zuckerberg has, but
it's highly likely your knowledge of his friends list would grow
dramatically using this system.
