#312So is there any way to find out what information FB has on you if you don't have an account?
Re: Off-Facebook activity
#313I feel like this stuff actually creeps me out more since I deleted my Facebook account. I didn't deactivate, I completely deleted. I'm near 100% sure they're still trying to track & sell me, but without an account I can't even see it.
Back when I got rid of my account there wasn't an option to immediately delete an account. It first had to be deactivated, and would supposedly be deleted after a two-week cool-down period.
Yes I went through that too. It was about 2 years ago.
They sent me all the warnings that they were deleting anything.
Do I believe them at all? Not really?
Re: Off-Facebook activity
#314I realize this is an unpopular opinion around here... but can anyone explain how they have actually been harmed by this? Like for real not in abstract notions of "creepiness" or whatever. I, for one with Facebook actually figured how to do something useful with that data and not be that raw sewage stream that basically led to stop logging in.
Yeah, and the other stalkers out there should find productive use of their data gathering, too.

Re: Off-Facebook activity
#316The linked page displays nothing but "You must log in to continue" if you don't have a Facebook account. I searched around and found this news page that explains it: https://about.fb.com/news/2019/08/off-facebook-activity/

#318Earlier quoted context omitted.
Unless you are carrying your cell phone at the time—not sure anyone is doing this yet, but I have heard of at least one chain that tracks customers' cell phone locations via triangulation.
The accuracy by Bluetooth is horrendous.
What about wifi? My understanding is this chain uses their in-store access point mesh for this.

Which chain?
Not going to name them since I don't have verified firsthand knowledge. It's a large regional chain based in the midwestern US.

#320I was surprised to see that Plex is sharing a bunch of interactions with Facebook despite me only signing in with email. They seem to just blindly correlate the email address with whatever Facebook account it points to. There is no mention of Facebook on their privacy page[1]. As a lifetime Plex Pass holder this has damaged my credibility with them. One of their employees says this is in error[2] so hopefully it will…
Yeah, I was really surprised to see Plex in my friend's off-FB-activity list. I've been wanting to switch to Emby, but I already have a Plex lifetime membership, and it would be difficult to get friends to make the switch. I'm not liking Plex's direction with getting into the streaming business, along with this FB spyware mishap.
