When you view another user's friends page, you will no longer be able to see any posts that have locks on them.

Here's how it used to work... You recently made a private post. Since you show up on user B's friends page, and you can see your private post, you see your private post on user B's friends page.

That's not how it will work now. If a post has protection, you cannot view it on someone else's friends page.

The word is that the chage was made fro two reasons. One, as part of the security changes. Two, so support stopped getting those "I can see all of my private posts on my friends page!" requests.

I can't think of anything that people used to do with this feature that can't be done with filters.
