      Bluetooth, GPS, and NFC are always turned on. WiFi was enabled but not connected to a network. Yeah , no wonder how it got that man.

      I keep BT off and I think iOS does by default. Are you describing Android defaults?

      Google doesn’t share its surveillance data with Facebook, so Facebook must be scraping it using Android permissions (such as GPS) in combination with buying geotracking data from carriers without user opt-in, which, in a heinous breach of user privacy, is still legal.

          Why do you need carrier tracking data? If two people happen to be in same geo for good amount of time (and no one was around there at the same time), then FB can recommend. Am I missing something?

          "Geo" is big, do you mean 4-foot AGPS resolved location? That is what it looks like, not just random people in the same city or tower area. ICYMI, https://twitter.com/vibronet/status/1065348195532722176 ….

          It's also possible for this kind of thing to happen occasionally entirely by coincidence: if Facebook suggests 5 random people from my city each day, then each day I have a 1/600,000 chance of getting Parking Lot Guy. Which means this would happen to 5 people a day 100% at random

          Replying to @bahstgwamt @TimSweeneyEpic and

          If only 2% of Facebook friend recommendations were effectively totally random, e.g. based on erroneous data, then it would happen to *somebody* here in Buenos Aires (3 million people) every 10 days. Strangely that's far below the Creepy Facebook Recommendation reddit rate we see.
