[Freedombox-discuss] Relationship driven privacy

yep, thats  exactly the same google + does  (circles )

Well it is same with  http://project.friendika.com , but worth to have  
a look at.


>> Another approach is to use URLs.  Give all your friends the

>> your family the http://fbox.example.com/pious-father address.
>> Give your coworkers the
>> http://fbox.example.com/always-at-my-desk address.  Each of

>> you could manually change what people see if somebody's

Exactly, thats what i am talking about !!!  +1

Done in google +  IMHO
