I think a sharing page which make a distinction based on the risk rather than
friends vs. public is more straightforward.

Sharing:
( ) no sharing
( ) quick configuration
    ( ) low risk
    ( ) med risk
    ( ) high risk

    ( ) low traffic
    ( ) high traffic
( ) custom configuration

---
Custom configuration
TOR server:
( ) do not run tor server
( ) run bridge node (low risk+low traffic)
( ) run middle node (low risk)
( ) run exit node (high risk)

Backups:
Who should be able to backup data on my machine (low risk)
( ) nobody
( ) friends only
( ) everybody (high traffic)

...

Whatever you publish or for yourself should not be here. There should be a
separate page where you can configure whether you want to run web/mail/...
servers or not.
