Yes. You read the title.
Recently, I've frequently received emails from Facebook, which I thought it would 'spam' for me because those emails were just saying someone has posted something, telling someone's birthday (I don't bother too much on this), someone's updating new status, etc. But, what creeps me out is that, Suggesting Friends, indeed.
Well, if I say suggesting friends thingy is a creepy or eerie thing, you might think it's just something on Facebook, which is normal. However...I can't. Not because I am anti-social or something, but this suggesting friends thing is totally CREEPY.
Why? Well, yes. Lemme admit it; I don't be friends with people in my real life on Facebook, especially friends/people from my university (I am a student now XD).
So, the story basically goes like this;
Ever since I'm on Facebook, I only be friends with whom I know very well, only that people that I know that I can be friends with and I am strictly get myself away from the strangers. I completely ignore strangers (even though we have mutual friends) who want to add me as their friends.
I will GET this 'Suggesting Friends' or 'People You May Know' or whatever it is widget on the side bar which people that I know but I'm not friends with them, that's fine because we have mutual friends.
creepy shit site
Well, I've been using Facebook for like 7 years and I'm a university student now.
Additional info; this is my last semester and I'm on my practicum somewhere at school.
Ever since I've been in university, I've got no contacts that I know on my Facebook account except other account (I have two accounts). When I logged in Facebook account, I saw these university friends that whom I am not friends with until now on Facebook, suggesting me to add as friends! I was overwhelmed, trying to figure out how the heck does Facebook know that I have friends in real life which it does not make sense. Well, to be honest, I was once wrote my actual university name in the 'Work and Education' field but it lasted long only for a few months. And starting from that, Facebook keeps suggesting me the friends that share same university as mine.
But still, it creeps me out till now... I am so afraid if those people find out my another account (it's a personal thing why I didn't add them).
Nope.
However, what's even creepier than that is that, they started to send me emails, painstakingly entitled 'People You May Know' suggesting that if I knew these people which I've known very well because one of them is my school supervisor, and we are definitely not sharing any mutual friends, at all!
This site tells the same thing, check it out:
