Yes,You have read it right and yes it is true.
After the launch of Facebook graph there were drastic changes in privacy and thus left many loose ends.
Most of them were fixed but 1 bug remained you could now see anyone's profile picture even if private, you just needed the profile id facebook.com/profile_id
and now type it after graph.facebook.com/profile_id/ this will give you the public profile as json
now type graph.facebook.com/profile_id/picture?width=800
And you can now see the full Resolution private profile picture.
But today i found to cover there tracks facebook made this kind of a feature your profile picture are no longer private.
Facebook did this secretly no user was informed .Also when you upload a picture you still have privacy control to make picture private or public but they are almost fake.Only control they give is if your photo is private comments will be hidden.Who knows what other bugs might exist in facebook.But whatever may happen the people at Facebook will never admit.
So be aware and USE FACEBOOK AT YOUR RISK!! keeping in mind nothing's can say hidden in this age of techonology where even the so called secure https was also hacked!!
Good Luck!
