Everybody knows that part of their facebook is viewable to the world

No, that was a CHANGE in Facebook's policies after at least 200 million people had signed up. Some of those things can no longer be changed to be private.

You cannot make your friends list private from your friends or friends friends anymore. If you had this turned on, it was switched off.

Someone else can check the ToS and privacy notice, but if I remember correctly sex and religion went to world-viewable by default if they are specified on the profile at all.

I know some of the defaults changed, but that's not what I asked.
