Misleading, but it's BuzzFeed, so what do you expect.
Facebook is essentially changing Groups so instead of 3 categories with inherent discoverability rules (Public (find via search), Private (find via search), Secret (can not find via search)), they're separating the concerns of "Can non-members view posts?" and "Can non-members find this group via search?"

So this is actually now more flexible!
