How many Facebook users make their friends list private?
Hi all, Has anyone ever seen data on how many Facebook users make their friends list private? I’m guessing it’s not that many, but I worry that writing “I guess it’s not that many” in my article might not get past Reviewer 2. Cheers!

Dear John, Probably this paper helps. https://people.cs.umass.edu/~wallach/courses/s11/cmpsci791ss/readings/gjoka0... Specifically section 6.2, it says 84% of randomly selected users use the default privacy settings. About 7% of users use "hide my friends."
