Facebook is creepy.... - C(-)ris - 02-28-2022
Had some Dr. Appointments this week and was just browsing Facebook and in the most recent suggested friends list are one of the support personnel/technicians at the clinic. Their names aren't on any paperwork I have received or even noted in the clinic software that I visited with them their names were never spoken. These were the staff that take your blood pressure and do the routine things before the appointment. I had my phone in my pocket but didn't even use it in the clinic.
The only way I see that Facebook could possibly make that connection is if it was using some sort of bluetooth or near field communication to match you up with people in the same room. Otherwise there would have been dozens of matches from the same cell tower or internet access point.
The only other option would be if the person looked me up, but I can't imagine that they would do something like that.

Location data. Did you have your phone with you while visiting said office?

What happens in large crowds? Stadium? Airport? Subway?
And are you and the guys at the urinals next to you potential "friends"?

If you are a long term Fecesbook user, my biggest surprise is that you have not noticed it happen several years ago.

.....When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here.....

If you visited the clinic’s website, Facebook probably tracked you on the site or when you searched for the site, and the employees are regularly on the same website.

Yeah, I turn off location for most apps. That one included. Probably why I don't get weird 'friend suggestions'.
