Hello and sorry for any inconvenience since this is my first attempt
to post.
When ubuntu is installed a default user with admin rights is
created. After that any user created has the ability to view the
folders of any other user even if this new user is a simple user. This
is not the required privilege for a simple user, even in a single
desktop or laptop installation. There is a folder for public files in
every home directory which should be accessed from other accounts.
There is a question Why can other users see the files in my home
folder? in which a majority of users of Ubuntu systems ... or are
sharing with friends and relatives. is one of the answers. Also
another answer is to make it easier for new users to share files.
Both answers make the public directory unnecessary. Either a public
directory should not exist at all (in order not to confuse new and old
users) or a public directory should be public as opposite to all
other directories (in home folders) which should be hidden (at least
for normal users).
Thanks in advance.

20Directory%20Access
if you want to adjust this behavior for your install ...
