If you're in an LTR, you should be off the grid almost entirely.
Or you can do what I do and largely use a fake name.

Facebook’s privacy policy breaches European law, report finds

Belgian privacy commission study concludes company’s use of user data violates privacy and data protection laws

“Facebook places too much burden on its users. Users are expected to navigate Facebook’s complex web of settings in search of possible opt-outs,” wrote the authors. “Facebook’s default settings related to behavioural profiling or Social Ads, for example, are particularly problematic.”

The report also points out that there is no way to stop Facebook from collecting location information on users via its smartphone app other than to stop location access on the smartphone at the level of the mobile operating system.

I've said this before--I don't know what the negative fuss over Facebook is about (at least from a personal perspective). Facebook is great, it allows me to stay connected to friends and family all over the globe.

The problems with it can be mitigated by doing just a few things:

- Make everything in your profile private to the outside world. Only your friends can see your stuff
- Don't put excessive info in your profile
- Stay minimalist with the pictures, posts, status updates
- Don't add many people and don't accept most invitations
- Only keep close friends and family with minor exceptions. I used to have 500+ friends there a couple years ago, now it's less than 200 (and should probably be a lot less).
- Don't use your real last name (probably unnecessary, but just an extra measure to take).

It's not that complicated!

Yeah I've noticed this. I keep my account deactivated mostly but every few weeks I log into it for a couple hours to check what's going on and I notice that the website recommends me old bangs, number closes, flakes, etc. that I'd forgotten about. Crazy.

I wanted to update this thread with relevant information that has happened to me the past two weeks.

I was recently on facebook with all the Roosh Canadian uproar and noticed the "who you may know" section. As the OP states the ghost of pussy past was on display and I was fucking horrified.

The problem I have with this is that I never added my phone number to google+, facebook or any other social media except Tinder and WhatsApp.

WhatsApp is owned by Facebook

But it would be hard for them to connect my facebook profile, my number and the women I contacted on that number with just WhatsApp. However I remember last year I had the facebook App installed on another phone and I kept the number which is what I currently have.

This App farmed my number and posted it onto facebook private information to ensure security of my profile (what bullshit). As soon as I contacted people over WhatsApp they immediately connect my profile with theirs.

How is this scary?

Not only can women look you up for past relationships, hookups and what-have-you, your employer can too or any random who has whatsApp, your phone number and Facebook.

There is no other way of avoiding this unless you use a separate number for whatsApp or have never put your number in facebook or had the App on your phone.

Like I've stated earlier - the worst thing about this shit isn't so much the 'ghosts of pussy past', but it's girls you are trying to bang or currently in rotation that you don't want to give them your Facebook profile.

If you've ever said something along the lines of "oh I don't have a Facebook" when a girl you just met has asked for your FB, and then you got the phone number instead. But you have a Facebook profile that you connected that phone number to anytime in the past (or whatsapp, instagram, etc, etc). There's a solid chance she's going to get an "suggested friends" email with your mug the next day, or have you pop up in the "people you may know" section. Even if you've locked down the privacy settings.

I've worked to mitigate this issue by not using my actual last name, and having a profile photo that isn't actually me. And then of course having everything else on lock down privacy settings.

Post: #57

I don't even have my picture on my profile nor my real age but my name is there and there could possibly be ways around a locked down profile.

I just dislike this invasion of privacy they presume they should have.

In other words every fucking girl who I've exchanged numbers with over the years is now popping up in this list and vice versa where I would show up in their list theoretically.

This is more reason why you can't give Facebook anything personal or should just delete it if you want to control your privacy. I use an alias name, alias email address, no personal info and a wrong town. Now these motherfuckers are taking phone contacts and linking people up. Time to delete

I've been in a long term relationship, so getting caught is a no-no. However, I use this feature to my advantage, the second I get a number from a broad I immediately use having her number to find her social media profiles and block her from all of them so I can never be found by her and it covers my tracks since I normally give a fake name to most women.

Post: #59

Lol I've noticed this happening with all my tinder dates. They would appear on my people you may know list and I suspected that they were entering my number to make sure I wasn't some creep or stalker.

Wow, what a simple yet obviously effective idea. Why didn't I think of that. Immediately adding this to my repertoire.

This is scary and horrifying also because absolutely all your personal info,
all your phone contacts, all your friends names, all the messages you exchange with anyone, all your chats, all your private photos from your phone albums,
everything is stored forever by Facebook and Google,
in order to profile you for the rest of your life, as most of us know very well

Facebook was, in Schrems' words, "dumb enough" to send him all his data in a 1,200-page PDF. It showed that Facebook kept records of every person who had ever poked him, all the IP addresses of machines he had used to access the site (as well as which other Facebook users had logged in on that machine), a full history of messages and chats and even his "last location", which appeared to use a combination of check-ins, data gathered from apps, IP addresses and geo-tagged uploads to work out where he was.

As Schrems went through the document, he found items he thought he had deleted, such as messages, status updates and wall posts. He also found personal information he says he never supplied, including email addresses that had been culled from his friends' address books.

There is the same stuff with Linkedin. In the "people you may know" on linkedin i saw some girls with who I only texted with Whatsapp. So any girl you text with whatsapp can have access to your full resume and all your business connection.

Facebook is such a bunch of fucks. As if you ever had someone's phone number and weren't aware you "may have knew them".

Yep, give FB all fake info so it will never be traced back to you. You should never let them have any real info, not ever.

Nope. Those girls searched for you on LinkedIn, that's how it works. If you search on a girl you will pop up on her page. And they will only have access to your info if you haven't changed the settings on your profile, so, probably go do that.

LinkedIn is a very successful public firm with no ties to WhatsApp. FB sure ain't giving away free info.

I've been thinking about deactivating my FB for a while, but I heard you need to have one for Tinder and I don't want to miss out on that. Any truth to this?

Post: #69

^^
Yes, Tinder needs a Facebook account to log in through.
Which is a good reason to create a false FB account for Tinder.

Facebook doesn't even have my phone number and yet a few people are showing up in People You May Know. Not sure how that shady Zuckerberg got it. Logging in from my phone maybe?

If you are in law enforcement, military or government or sensitive corporate work these anti-privacy features of zuckface can be dangerous for you and or your family or main squeeze... I have one bogus facebook profile to keep up with an old coworker who moved back to Greece to take care of his fathers affairs and stayed there. Everytime he posts a pic to his timeline I get an email - it is a spam engine with just one person posting pics - imagine 500 "friends".

It keeps asking for my phone and email accounts - the GPS function of the mobile app is enough to blow your cover on any forensic or other investigations etc etc so I never installed the FB mobile phone app. I am seriously thinking about deleting my facebook account, any associated social apps and getting new phones and numbers and disabling the biz line's GPS but I like to use UBER, Google Maps, Nav and WAZE and they need GPS.

linkedIn is getting to be just as bad...

Just to add but today while having post-sex coffee with a FWB she mentioned that Facebook suggested me as a friend to her. However, I don't have a number associated to my Facebook. So it did a sort of reverse connection, possibly seeing that I had her number and then connected me to her. Oddly enough, I just read the OP a day or so ago and thought this would never happen to me as I have some privacy restrictions on my Facebook but anything is possible with the internet.

Luckily I am single at the moment and don't really care if people see me. However it was awkward because she mentioned she tried to add me but couldn't (my profile is set to private, only mutual friends can send me a friend request). Hmm, the more you know.

I'm trying to block a girl and all mutual friends (we are still facebook friends), but she is still connected to my Whatsapp/FB.

Can Facebook still recommend me as a a friend to her since she still has my actual phone number?

The email she has of mine's fortunately is not connected to my facebook.

If your phone number was ever associated with your current Fb profile through either putting it in yourself or having it farmed like mine was, then it is possible.

Facebook doesn't really delete all relevant information on your account I read somewhere.

I suppose you could find out for sure by testing it with someone you know and temporarily block them.

Post: #75

Thanks!

My course of action:

1) Block her and all mutual friends on "Facebook"
2) Block her on "Whatsapp"

Let's see how this goes...she is a vindictive born again feminist living off family money with nothing better to do than to track me down & get verbally abusive.
