REDDIT USERĪs he points out in the post, Facebook is seemingly making connections between him and other people without actually having the requisite information to do so which leads to the obvious question: how is Facebook doing this? I’ve never used any sort of facebook or okcupid app on my phone, the only thing I can think of is that facebook was digging into my okcupid account and looking for people I’d messaged? But then I haven’t had an okcupid account since October. Weirder was earlier today when it suggested I add a girl I add been on one date with a year ago, whom I’d never contacted on facebook, have no photos with, and whom I couldn’t even remember the name of until facebook just told me. I do have some pictures with her, so maybe it did its face recognition thing? We met on OkCupid, and we don’t have any mutual friends. The first thing was weird was that it suggested to me the facebook page of my SO who made a facebook once a few years ago and then abandoned the account and hasn’t been on the site since. Here’s an example, from Reddit, of one guy’s experience with Facebook’s suggested friends. That’s the official explanation of how suggested friends works on Facebook but in my experience – granted, it’s pretty limited I seldom use Facebook anymore – there is more to this feature than Facebook is letting on in its official description of how it works.
