With the old privacy settings I had a well-secured account:
- no profile pic to the public
- it didn't appear on friend lists (unless you were a friend)
- nobody could see my friend list.
I have continuously been victim of cyberbullying and these settings were very good for my needs: I could keep in touch with my friends using Facebook, but ONLY with my friends and people I chose.

On the same day FB changed privacy settings my “cyber-stalker” identified me and my friends. Maybe I should have deactivated the account immediately, but all of this trouble was NOT evident.
