Facebook is scary – serious privacy concern

Posted on the May 14th, 2010 under Business by Al

I created a brand new account in Facebook, tying it to an email address that was never used in Facebook. The second screen of the registration process (Find Friends) is a filled with a list of people that I have corresponded with from that previously private email address. HOW THE HELL DID IT KNOW I CORRESPOND WITH THESE PEOPLE? HOW DID IT GENERATE THIS LIST OF PRIVATE CONTACTS? 

If you don’t see me on Facebook after today, don’t be surprised.
