The Facebook Restricted List is a privacy setting that allows users to control what their friends see of them without having to block or unfriend them. When someone is added to the Restricted List, they can only see the users public posts and profile information available to the public. All private posts will remain hidden from them. The Restricted List feature can be useful if a user wants to hide their posts from certain people, such as family members, colleagues, and others.
When someone is restricted on Facebook, they cannot see the users private posts, but they can still see their public posts and the posts they have been tagged in. They cannot like, comment, or share the users posts, and their ability to interact with the user on the platform is limited. They will continue to be on the users friends list, but they will not be able to send messages to the user. Their visibility is limited to their friends, and they cannot see the users private profile information.
It is important to note that Facebook can also restrict accounts for violations of community standards, offensive posts, or if Facebook sees security concerns. If a users account is restricted, they may face temporary or permanent restrictions on their account, depending on the severity of the violation. If a user is facing a temporary restriction, they can either wait for the restriction time to expire or file an appeal to Facebook administrators.
