I’m deleting that shit and telling every single one of my friends the moment this goes live.
are u sure 100% it hasn’t already…
it’s called an ip address? i don’t understand why this is an invention
what this means is… even when you use a VPN it will not matter, it will know where you are no matter the IP address.
what this also means is … your friends, or even random strangers can give away where you live. just you know. fyi. even if you don’t have a facebook.
even if you don’t have a facebook
how tf is that supposed to work?
🙂 friends/family/stranger mentioning you in facebook posts. pictures of you in the backgrounds. and so many other ways.
ohoho it’s much worse than that
Let’s say you don’t have a facebook account, loathe facebook, have never interacted with facebook, etc.
So one day you buy a t-shirt from a vendor
(let’s call them T-ShitCo)
who, aside from their T-ShitCo web shopping cart, also maintains a T-ShitCo facebook page.
To place your order with them you hand over your address & billing information, which (via the T-ShitCo facebook portal) gets passed over to facebook’s advertising platform which correlates that information with every other mention of you from all the other vendors out there who are not T-ShitCo.
Same street address, different name/email as another profile?
DING
Facebook now knows you share a physical address with another user, and based on meta-data from other sources (age, income, what kind of dwelling) can build inferences about your relationship. Facebook can successfully guess: mom, dad, brother, sister, lover, wife.. whatever.
And if that other account belongs to an actual, live fb user? They know EVERYTHING already so those inferences are not exactly shooting in the dark.
So even if you’ve never used facebook before there’s a strong chance they already know you very very well.
Also, deleting your account does nothing. Your pages may go invisible but that internal profile lives on, and continues to grow as you interact with the internet.
