Housing - Friends Only

Removing a real world abuser from a friend's list is more dangerous than keeping them on it. Even they don't live in the same household, they have frequent contact with their victim and demand access to account and phone records so they can review what the victim has been doing. What's going to happen when the abuser demands access to their victim's account and discovers the victim has removed them from a friends list?

It also makes it harder for the victim to avoid the abuser in game when the abuser can track their location but the victim can't tell where the abuser is to find a way to avoid them.

No victim is going to remove an abuser from a friends list until they are already taking steps to distance themselves from the abuser and remove them from their life.

This is just bad programming that sets up more potential for player harassment than it avoids. There's no reason for a player to be worried about whether someone knows they've been removed from a friends list unless they're trying to take advantage of that other player in some way, and that shouldn't be encouraged.
