Things You'll Need:
- Facebook account
- Computer with Internet access
-
Step 1
Sign on to the Facebook home page with your email address and password (see Resources below).
-
Step 2
Click on "My Privacy" to change who can see your profile. The My Privacy page lets you adjust each feature of your Facebook account separately. If you only want to hide certain features, like the mini-feed or photos, then adjust only those preferences.
-
Step 3
Click on "Edit Settings" for the limited profile. You will land on a page with a preview of your current limited profile.
-
Step 4
Choose all or none of the Facebook features you want people to see on your limited profile. To completely hide your profile, make sure all boxes are unchecked before hitting the "Save" button.
-
Step 5
Add people to the limited profile list from the My Privacy page. People you put on the list can only view the features you let them see. They will still be your friends, however.
-
Step 1
Head to the "My Privacy" page while logged in to Facebook.
-
Step 2
Search for users to add to the "Block People' list. You can add any user on Facebook. Once added, that user will not be able to view any part of your profile or find you when doing searches. This is the best way to hide completely from someone.
-
Step 3
Find the user you want to block and simply click "Block Person" next to his or her name.
-
Step 4
Click "Remove" next to the person's name if you later decide you don't want to block the person. If the person was your friend on Facebook, you will have to request to be his or her friend again.

on 2/13/2009 This is a useful article, but is there a way to prevent even my friends from seeing who my other friends are? That does not seem to be doable.

Control who can see your profile and related information. Visit the Applications page in order to change settings for applications.

on 1/20/2009 this sounded like the perfect article untill, I could not find anything resembling " my privacy button " that you are talking about. So back to all sorts of people i dont really like having all kinds of access on my page. I just dont want to be rude and deleate them, but its gonna get to that...
