Facebook had a great purging of fake accounts.

I didn't know that........

With that being said, there is an email privacy concern that I've noticed. Whenever I actually visit that account, which is almost never, there will be a list of individuals "do you know so and so" and ask me to hook up with them. In many of the cases, they ARE people I know.........

How Facebook was able to match them up with my fake account, I have no idea........The only explanation I can come up with is that these individuals and I are all tied together by past email contact with one another even tho they may not be in my email address book.

Well, it is run by an acknowledged hacker.

(One of the many reasons to limit the activity on it, for sure) I actually think I spend more time using my throw away presence than my real one. I am rarely on the real one anymore, and that's mostly just to say happy birthday to friends.
