I created a Facebook account, and the email address was freshly created with that account.
I have never sent any email from that email address and the only emails I have received has been welcoming ones from Google and Facebook .
I go to the Facebook homepage, and it says "People you may know".
It lists two people one of whom I know. Where is it pulling them from? / What are the sources that Facebook pulls these things from?
As the title says, is it possible to look up the Facebook profile which corresponds to a particular email address, if there is one? What's the simplest way to do so?
Yeah, just enter the email address in to the search box. If that's known to facebook then it'll bring up that person.
I should note that if someone adds JUST him and gets these emails. Much like he set up the "Bob" account. They would only receive emails about friends on HIS account. Since he'd be their only friend it would be rather obvious wouldn't it? I'd say it's a problem with facebook's privacy for sure.
