Facebook has a terrible policy on users privacy. By default, an user can access everything on another user's account. There have been reports on grabbing innocent photos from FB and posting them on adult forums. Sometimes this is done by persons among the friends. This is immoral and illegal in some states. On the other hand FB has made it real difficult to adjust the proper level of privacy. Since we in real life have different level of trust on different person, it is necessary to arrange people in the friend list among more possibly overlapped sublists. This is a photo-tutorial on how to protect your photos by creating sublist or custom lists of friends based on the level of trust and allowing them on a certain album.

1. Once logged in go to this link:
http://www.facebook.com/privacy/?view=photos
2. On the right of an album find "Who can see this?" Click on the drop list and select "Customise..."
step 2
3. In the dialog box, click on the "Some Friends" option and start typing a friend's name. FB would automatically show names having the typed letters. Choose at least 3 friends.

In the Networks drop list, choose "None of My Networks". This will prevent the default access of network members.

Click on "Okay".

4. FB would save the settings and popup a dialog asking to save the friends' names in a list. Give a name, say bosom friends, and click "Save".

5. Store these changes by hitting the "Save Settings" button at the bottom of album list.
