I don’t think he knows what he thinks he knows.

My “real” facebook account does have a lot of photos I like to share, and it is attached to an email address. But the photos are “meh”, and the email address is one I set up specifically to create a facebook account.

Oh, and the age and birth date on it are bogus. So yeah, he has the information, but either it is irrelevant, wrong, or information I don’t care if the whole world knows.

The quants had you figured out long ago.

MIT researchers show you can be identified by a just few data points (From the Pre Trump era.)

Exactly! I don’t need a bunch of old friends telling me happy birthday! I’m not in elementary school.
I know how old I am, and did not post birthdate on my FB account.

I have a fake facebook account using my email address and there is no information in it whatsoever. I use it to log in to newspaper articles so I can leave comments.

Here's the kicker tho, FB sends me invitations to "Friend" people I know and have had email contact with in the past. So how do they know I know these people unless they have internet access to all the emails I and my friends have sent out.........That's the only way FB could have made the connection between us.

Great. LOL. We should keep all of this in perspective and remember what has put Facebook in the recent news in the first place. As easy as it is for Facebook to violate the privacy of its users, it's even easier for its users to set up fictitious accounts that provide no value at all -- even NEGATIVE value when you consider the waste of advertising resources for Facebook users who are not the age, race and/or gender they claim to be.

Reminds me of the comical story when Ashley Madison was hacked, and they learned that most of the "women" on the site were actually men. LMAO.
