former providers showing up on Facebook

Google monitors your position.....

We all know this.

..... when they notice two (or more) phones next to each other on more than a few occasions .... or for long periods of time ... the dots are connected.

There is really not much you can hide when you carry such a sophisticated wireless 2-way communicator .... that has gps, microphone, and camera.

When you mix in stupid American voters ..... with smart phones .... and existing rural infrastructure .... you get a fast track to communism.

Cue Russ ......

fb picks up on numbers associated with your account. I was given the real names of a provider and hobbyist through fb recognition. And the provider used a separate phone not associated with fb yet it still identified her.

Rather creepy.

when i start typing in a recipient name on a yahoo email account i have, it starts filling in suggestions for people i know that are not in my address book, and even people that i don't know (but may have been included on an email i received. i don't facebook or linkedin, but i constantly get invites from both. linkedin hijacks your contacts and emails everyone an invite. the dots start getting connected. data mining goes pretty deep these days.

In case you guys didn't know the new updates on FB messenger allow the app to go through your contacts so it picks up accounts associated with that number. If you have FB messenger get rid of that shit or get another phone and don't dl FB. Also I'm not 100% but i think the updates on FB (not FB messenger may start doing the same). it's all int he TOS and privacy policy.

we have entered into a brave new world in which there will be no privacy or secrets at all unless you go live in a cabin in the mountains and withdraw from society.

You're forgetting the army of drone pilots currently being trained. All of those Google and Amazon "delivery" drones will be govt monitored.

If a 13-year-old can hack into the CIA mainframe .... FB is a walk in the park.

Easy now GS.....don't confuse communism with fascism......but to stay on topic....as I've said before, this is "one" of the reasons why I've never used FB or ever created an account with them.....

I have had that happen many times with providers I have seen and I use Google Voice and a hobby email address that aren't linked to Facebook.

Another one of my 17 reasons for not having a facebook account.

[Wombat94]

One note, I deleted the Facebook Messenger App and haven't had a recurrence of the issue.

My hobby phone is a "dumb" phone. Hobby email is web based and I check it using a separate browser. I'm sure it's not foolproof but so far I have had no crossing of data that I'm aware of.

[GlobeSpotter]

I don't have fb either. I have too many skeletons and live too many lives (read lies) to even consider that.
