make the following list private
I discovered you can see anyone's followed channels via third party websites using the API, and I've been told it's OK because that's public data.
I'd like at least an option to prevent that.

I can confirm that this information in public for every Twitch-user via third-party-websites, which use Twitch API. Those websites can be used by anyone. You don't have to be a developer or a broadcaster. I was very surprised when I found out about this.
I only found out about this randomly. I think, that most Twitch-users assume that this information is private by default (especially if you are only a viewer and not a broadcaster). They are probably NOT aware that this information is public. The normal Twitch-website does NOT say that this information is public.
This kind of information should definitely be private by default, and there should be an option to make this information private.
It also makes me wonder what other information about my Twitch-account is publicly available for everybody on the internet.
Please fix this problem as soon as possible.
