There are two middle sets facing front with only the partition between biz and first facing them, but on the date we're looking at, all the way in late January, those are showing as unavailable.
There are extensive threads on the pluses/minuses of these seats, so if it's important to you, you might consider doing more reading.

My answer would be (a) I prefer rear facing, and (b) no, there is no reduction in privacy. Others will have different opinions.
