In Jcow you can not make private profiles with the privacy problem that implies, my network what users use most is the role of followers the problem is that by following a user all their publications are visible from their profile.

My proposal to solve the privacy problem is as follows:

Make the FOLLOW function work as the ADD FRIEND function explained to me:

When you NEED a user, you also have to FOLLOW and accept the FOLLOW UP request to see your publications.

As in the function of FRIENDS and thus have more privacy.

Could you tell me how to do this?

Thank you.
