Facebook update question

Hi

Suppose A is my friend in Facebook but B is not.

Now B updates her status and then A comments on that.

I get this update in my page. How I can prevent that? Basically I just want to get update in my page only when it is started by someone who is my friend. So, in this case since B is not my friend, I don't want it to appear in my screen.

Thanx

    Well, I can't find that preference that's why I asked.

    maybe your account is set on 'friends of friends' set your prefs to friends only. Also if you comment on a friends actions you will get to see what ever is said by who ever.
    All the big powers they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right, and outing the liars.

    I think I can't change that! If the person posting update allow his/her friends of friends to see then I shall always end up getting that displayed in my profile even if I don't want to see that (unless I specifically block someone).

  • yes, you can't stop unless you block them.

    Try this.

    On the Home page. The one you get when you log in. Scroll to the bottom and click "Edit Options". You can hide people you do not wish to see in your news feed.

    Is this what you are looking for.
