They don't force you to add them, they hope you will though to increase their advertising revenue (the whole reason they want you to friend, like etc etc).

Frank McAvennie showed up in my suggested friends recently (ex Scotland, Celtic, West Ham footballer).

Mentioned it online, and a few friends had seen the same.

Turns out someone we all knew had a friend who was friends with him.

So we are all six degrees from Frank McAvennie and not Kevin Bacon? I guess that figures. I wonder Frank's met Kevin Bacon?

photos

I imagine Facebook could use photos of you from another profile where you just happen to have been in the pic then ID you. After all, their new facial recognition thing can apparently tell if you're drunk or not...

Besides that there are third party apps like this one:

Photos are personal data, more than ever, but are shared and are often out of your own control.

Again?

I've given up readding him after each flounce!

How did you wangle that? Hope you went armed with business cards in your pannier!

Bumped into former colleague who works there, and she invited me

[SimonMac]

Doesn't matter - it's not my clientCo - they don't invite me to theirs. This party was the company in the next door building - I've no idea who the other people in the photos are!

Direction and Control?

I know the real reason is so that you can get the inside scoop on my mate's predictions. His name is Clyde

Time is of the essence with these things. If the good lord is warning us to stay away from ice cream vans, we need to know!

I've broken my own rule - pondy is my only facebook friend I've never actually met.

Weirdly you undermined yourself earlier.

I know any content I upload to Facebook is fair game for them to use and abuse, that is a given with any "free" service where the cost is your data, but I carefully choose what I share with the general public, if Facebook want to sell pictures of my rubber duck collection than rock on!

Has big sis forgiven you yet?

Ooops, I may have shared one of her doggy pics recently...

[NickFitz]

Big sis got involved in an anti-dog fighting group on fb, which resulted in her family photos being shared with very unpleasant comments attached.

Seriously folks, be careful with your data (and I know I'm one of the worst culprits)
