[Air-L] How many Facebook users make their friends list private?

[C.H.]

Dear John,

Probably this paper helps.

https://people.cs.umass.edu/~wallach/courses/s11/cmpsci791ss/readings/gjoka09unbiased.pdf

Specifically section 6.2, it says 84% of randomly selected users use
the default privacy settings. About 7% of users use "hide my friends."

Regards,
CH
