I had it about 10 years ago for like a week then deleted it. I think in that time they actually deleted the account and didnt store info.
Anyways i needed to see something on facebook so i made a fake account with a fake name, email and everything. I have since moved countries and have no social media or any presence online.
Once i opened it, I got reccommended friends from 10 years ago and saw all there pictures??? How the fuuck does facebook know this shiit !
I deleted the account immediatly and says its 30 days to deactivate. This is some next level tracking shiit !
Don’t exactly know, but I think there is a strong link between micrsoft and big programs like google and facebook and email providers. So if you registered your name on your computer or your email fb could probably track that for instance.
It is scary, but I’m afraid this is what the future looks like. It will probably get worse.
It should be illegal for companies to have monopoly on computing since it affects us more than most things. Microsoft has no competition to speak of so we are stuck with whatever they come up with because there are no options.
I wonder why you didn’t just restore your old one. I think I deleted mine one time early on, but my info was still there, with the same ID and email. didn’t you want your old friends back?
Two Words. “tracking cookies”. Take a look at the bottom of your browser next time you loading a webpage, Garantee - you will have a facebook address within it.
Invest in some decent anti-virus. And i mean paid ones like malware bytes or similar.
I use Firefox - which blocks all tracking cookies if you go in settings. And with malware bytes it stops your info being tracked as well. Trouble is - it does mess with internet banking, so im forever giving pin numbers text to the phone.
