So there is a certain social media site that recommends people it thinks you may know.
Why the fuck am I seeing someone I know from here on there! It's not her provider name, so what gives?
Who is fucking up here? Me or her?
Is that happening the other way around! WTF!?!?
Not cool.

All I know is somehow it connected us.
The real me, and not her provider name.  
How did this happen? None of my emails are the same!
Could it be pure coincidence? Grrrrr. I'm annoyed

If you have a 100 friends, and each of your friends has 100 friends, Facebook will start drawing your attention to them to see if you know them. If you are friends with another hobbyist and he is not discreet enough to not be friends with a provider, then she might someday show up on your page as "someone you might know". I wouldn't make a big deal about it and draw attention to yourself.

JK.

If you have ANY providers or ANY connections whatsoever that may be even a secondary connection to someone on your connections, it will be recommended to you.

It's a small world, and everybody knows someone you know most likely. Hopefully no one will figure it out.

Also, lately Facebook has been taking trigger words and websites from my ipad notes, I've noticed. I wrote a checklist from a music store, with prices and specific items I was looking at. Boom. I opened Facebook later and had a list of ads pertaining to that and my grocery list lol. Sadly, no porn advertisements.

This world cares about money, not your personal business - unless it will make them money. So they'll use the access to tailor your page with ads that may tempt you to buy products. There are companies who buy and sell space on each and every computer, but it's all computerized. There isn't someone sitting behind your screen staring at you. (Hopefully, unless yu have a stalker or something lol.)

Thanks. I changed the email.
Think I'm gonna kill that account.

The NSA has nothing on them.

(An ironic double entendre if ever there was.)

Two clients have been recommended to me as "Someone you may know!"

One of them, I understand because he knew my full name and probably was just curious and searched my profile.  But the other guy totally did not know my real info.

And another warning:  the new iPhone comes with a setting already selected for your icloud to share your "stuff" with all of your devices.  For example, I use my iPad to look at porn and I noticed that the porn sites I visited were now showing on my iPhone browsing history!  So apparently, on the new iPhone, you now have to manually uncheck "Safari" under settings- icloud.  (FYI for those who may have kids/spouses borrowing their phone.)  

And the final 2cents:  a client told me not too long ago that some of his wife's photos she'd taken on her iphone were somehow syncing to his iPhone.  I think that's a "Family Sharing" fix also under settings.  You could only imagine how this couldve been a major problem if his photos were shared with the family.

Recommended to me, meaning recommended to my 'ho' persona as a potential contact. I can't imagine that my clients were seeking me out and trying to add a ho to their linkedin connections, so I'm assuming that the site somehow mined their email contacts, and added me without their knowledge.  

Oddly enough, there was a pre-existing account on linkedin, tied to my ho-mail, that was set up without my knowledge. I had a profile set up and everything...apparently, I'm from another country and went to some international business school?? Who knew. (I left all of that stuff up...thought it might add to the intrigue factor)

A few years back, I used the same browser for everything. I noticed that fellow escorts and clients were being recommended to me on Facebook as 'people I might know'. So I started to use separate browsers for ho and non-ho stuff. I also eschew social media and ho-mail on my phone. It's no big deal to wait until I'm home to check Facebook (I ended up using it much less). I waste much less time. Unless, I'm posting here...lol.

I delete my history before turning off my iphone and ipad. Easy enough to do.

Everyone should also check all of that stuff after an update too.
Especially the last one I did. It tried to set up all of that file sharing shit as soon as I restarted my computer.

Edited to put shit after file sharing

Excellent advice! I'll go one level up. Yahoo and Gmail are not safe as email services (none of the free email services are really) I switched to a paid, non-US, email service a long time ago when I read how easy it was to have Google or Yahoo to turn over the contents of your (or anyones) email with a court order. Court orders from a US court are pretty much meaningless in foreign countries. Several countries, namely Switzerland, have much better laws when it comes to individual privacy. I'd rather have my email on servers in Switzerland than on a Google, or Yahoo server in the US. I  closed my FaceBook account years ago and I don't miss it.

Facebook knows what is good for you. It is God. God talks to Facebook and it talks to you.

Technology at its best

I thought it was spam at first. Then I realized it was someone I never even saw. I must have given that email to her for verification when I was new, and chickened out. Weird

You will have to ask my Dad about that.

Stop clicking when I quip. LOL

just a matter of time really. Google/gmail/android is insanely privacy intrusive. And very smart. It's tough to get much of anything done without implicitly agreeing to forego privacy, on some level. And most people hardly pay any attention to the fine print when installing apps or storing something in the cloud, or...

In the 60's the Beatles announced god was dead. In the OTs Mark Zuckergerg announced privacy was dead. There it is. The only way out is to cut the Inet access and burn the phone.  

As if.

this matching/suggestion thing is one of the things i hate about facebook

I have clients' phone numbers programmed in the phone I use the Facebook app. If they gave me their real phone number and they have the Facebook installed on that phone OR if they have that phone number in their Facebook, they show up on my suggested friends.

Not sure if it works the other way around, but I think I'm seeing escorts in there too. There's no reason super hot local girls would be suggested to me. Most gals blur their face, so it's hard to say if I "know them" from emailing for references.

One client I really trust showed up in there, so I'm thinking I might give him a call to see if I'm in his suggested friends. He has my GV not my real phone number programmed in his phone.

If you ever used the "Find People You Email" feature on Facebook, then this happened.
