The landscape of online privacy, especially on a platform as large as Facebook, is built to be robust. When someone sets their profile to private, Facebook's servers are designed to prevent anyone not approved by the user from seeing that content. Claims that a new tool can bypass this for free are fundamentally false.

If the profile allows "Following," click "Follow" instead of "Add Friend." This will deliver their public updates directly to your news feed without requiring mutual friendship confirmation. You will see whatever they choose to share with the public.
