That's false. The api was called friends permission and was public. There are references to it everywhere in the web. For example here you have a rando asking about it in SO: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6392338/what-is-the-diff...

You said "open", not "public".

Not the OP, but “open” is vague, and might plausibly be meant as “public”. HN guidelines say you should respond to the strongest possible interpretation of a comment, not nit-pick:
>” Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.”
That said, OP’s response seems a bit harsh, as what you said wasn’t “false”, it just wasn’t their intended meaning.
