How to alternatively view a private users friends list

[blood-drench]

reason: My friend got hacked and his Profile is set to private; I am trying to re-add his friends.

How can I find users with my Friend added? or if there is some sort of way?

Are you trying to inform their friends?

By the way, if your friend can provide proof of ownership to the support, they can recover their account.

Its a bit deeper; I have no form of communication with him; therefor I am trying to alternatively find him some other way; in this case; his other friends; Thank you of course for your response.

Then there's no option. There's a good reason why you can't access private profile data (without proof of ownership, obviously).

Although; If you access pre-existing friend's profiles; and reach their public friends-list; you are still able to see the friend who would have a hacked-private profile; therefor I was wondering if there was some sort of way to sort users by which unique friends that they had.

I also understand that there are some more in depth steam-information web-sites, that for instance sites that keep charts of user population for a certain game in time-frames

You're mixing 2 layers here.

Viewing the friends list on a non-private profile works,even if any of the profiles involved is private. That's because the friends list is a property of the profile you're looking at.

Viewing the friends list of a private profile is impossible, no matter whether any of the profiles involved is private or not. That's because the friends list is a property of the profile you're looking at.

Such history Web sites exist, yes. If any of those got a snapshot of the profile in question before it got private'd, then sure, you may get what you want.

Im just looking for the possibility of a friend-filterer via information from non-private profiles combined; thats all
