As everyone reading this knows, I’m super fucking paranoid when it comes to my online privacy. Yet, for the most part, I’ll toss it aside to use facebook. I don’t toss all my privacy away when I use facebook, though. I limit myself to just over 100 “friends” and basically chosoe the strictest option for every privacy setting.

Who Can Look You Up By Name and Deets? Friends of Friends

And herein lies the problem, specifically with Facebook’s Find Friends application that allows anyone to grant facebook access to their email account.

Personally, I have no desire to let facebook access my email but other people apparently love it. At first, I was granted with the option to add three baseball statisticians and famed painter Dick Perez. To which I was all like, “WTF GUYZ.?!?!”

I’ve exchanged numerous emails with everyone involved, but there isn’t even a hint of a connection between the four of them and my facebook account. The only way that facebook could’ve suggested these people is if, as a friend suggested, they’d use the Find Friends tool and refrained from adding me.

So why the fuck does Facebook still know that I have a connection to Dick Perez? Why does facebook keep suggesting Dick Perez to me?

If motherfuckers cannot look up my profile by email, what the fuck is going on here?

And then, it started getting weirder. Not just was I receiving suggestions for people that I corresponded with, I started receiving suggestions for people that I didn’t even know! How the fuck would I know a housewife from Tennesse….motherfucker… Facebook is now suggesting that I add eBay customers.

So here’s the thing: I do not want facebook knowing that I have a connection to someone because they were fucking dumb enough to allow facebook access to their email account. Since all of the aforementioned “Suggestions” aren’t just temporary suggestions, I’m fairly confident believing that facebook just keeps that shit.

Hey, you emailed “bestialitykiddiepornrape@hotmail.com” — Well guess what? Now that bestialitykiddiepornrape@hotmail.com used friend finder, Facebook now has a stored connection between you and him and even if he doesn’t add you, facebook will suggest that you add him.

Yah, I’m a little bit sketched out by this. Just a little bit.
