This is creepy anons. I don't want to delete my Facebook account because I find it useful. My theory is Facebook messenger app accessed my contacts to suggest them. I made all permissions were off for Facebook. Has anyone experience something similar? What to do?
Zuckerberg is watching me help!

just wait til you find out that everything you say in front of your smartphone is recorded so that ads can be suggested to you

Facebook gives you reccomended people you may know from friends of people's profiles you look at.

I was just posting random quotes from The Leftovers as I'm re-watching it today and the one post I made that mysteriously disappeared contained the word 'baptism'. I'm not even fucking Christian and this shit pissed me off to no end, I reported it as a privacy violation.

op you idiot, did you not know that facebook actively monitors conversations for keywords, just to give you more direct adverts?
Nathaniel Hall
> I'm not even fucking Christian
well you just got good reason to convert
the forces which control the world seek to do us harm, and withhold anything that would be good for us. why do you think that word would be censored then?

>actively monitors conversations for keywords
I didn't even know her last name until facebook suggested her as a friend
I mean, I at least want to know how they did it
doesn't turning of mic permissions prevent this?
Henry Ross
tinder was started by, and is run by, two jews. they know exactly what they are doing. stop using it.
Levi Allen
no. it's a "bug" that when you turn it off, it never turns off

by the way, it's done through fingerprinting and information sharing. permissions aren't going to do anything
discord does the same. i joined a server and scores of people from the server (people on the other side of the world but whose faces and names i know solely from discord chat) began appearing in my facebook friend suggestions. discord is known to use a device fingerprint, the device in my case being a desktop machine.

Can you explain more/point me in the direction to read more?

if facebook and some party want to share information (e.g. chat logs, friends, images, whatever) all they need to do is use the same fingerprinting method and ask each other for information regarding that fingerprint. though you haven't linked the profiles, you're known to the two companies by the same unique ID.

just your browser is enough to get a fingerprint:

I'm a theist sympathetic to Christianity, but it's not my path.
Leo Wright
No, because I've never used Facebook or tinder. Feels good to be botnet free. And yes, I only use a librebooted ThinkPad.

Brody Taylor
Suppose I didn't want people to trace me using my device finger prints (hypothetically)
would it be enough to buy a new device?
Matthew Myers
Maybe she looked you up
Michael Jones
you'd need a different device for each service
Jacob Clark
Technically yes, a new device would have a completely different fingerprint, but that would only work so long as you don't use any of the same accounts as those on your main device.
Otherwise, another solution is to get a VPN. Keep in mind though that many VPNs are in fact botnets, and so you need to choose carefully.
Another option is to use an addon such as chameleon which basically spoofs your profile and thus gives you a "fake" fingerprint. However, some it only works with some fingerprinting information, for example using amiunique.org some fields are still unchanged: "WebGL Renderer", "Screen resolution", "Use of AdBlock", etc. Whether these fields are sufficient to properly fingerprint you, I have no clue.
Gavin Ward
Oh, and of course you could also use TOR, but that's likely compromised as well (but it does effectively protect against fingerprinting).
Thomas Sullivan
Is the idea that both facebook and tinder have my finger print and they agree to share finger prints? This seems really round about considering that I signed up for Tinder with my facebook account?
Bentley Price
You do know it's probably because you have her number thus when you save someone's number on your phone facebook probably checks it against their system and recommends it because it wants people to build a larger network.
Brandon Gray
Also, how does this explain how facebook only recomended the ones i met in person?
Josiah Reed
This is my theory too. I realized messenger had permission to access contacts after the fact
Jaxon Barnes
I used to get recommended people I recognized on my commute to work. Device GPS.
Henry Watson
pretty sure fb uses location info to match you with people. or the more obvious its reading tinder info u dolt.
Cameron Cox
yea, but i speficially turned off location services for fb. Obviously, not for tinder tho
I still think this is the most likely explanation
part of me wants to get a number, but not meet them just to see what would happen
Dominic Morales
it demonstrates that they're looking at more sources of information, e.g. GPS proximity
Ryan Anderson
>yea, but i speficially turned off location services for fb. Obviously, not for tinder tho

Sorry, even if you turn it off for Facebook, tinder could be selling your location service to Facebook or another one of your apps could be.
