It's a requirement at literally every job and university to have it. I don't fucking use it outside of it, but in the case of this guy I never looked him up nor added him or anything like that. I didn't even think he had a fb because he's an old dude, probably a requirement at his firm too.
>>54923108
>>54923117
Perhaps he looked up you.
>>54923240
So why would it appear on my fb? And on the top of my list?

Is there a way to get new pipe to dl 60fps videos?
>>54923315
Not yet but I think the developer is working on it:

I don't even think Android is to blame for this. To install the facebook app you basically give them permission to probe your anus. So I'm pretty sure they get permission to access all the contact info on your phone as well. I guess they just browse through your contacts' info and see if anything matches to their data.
I noticed linkedin did the same shit after I installed their app.
Kind of discomforting actually.
>>54923281
Because you installed the Facebook app and gave it permission to read your contacts (including recent calls) and most other data on your phone. You fucking dumbass.
>>54923341
Ah, that's a shame. I guess it's not happening, since it'd require a large rewrite.
>>54923050
you do realize that facebook can access pretty much alll of your data right?
It has his phone number and matched it to the one in your phone and it has access to your location and probably his so it just figured out you guys know each other.

Wait what? I'm NEET, so I don't know, but why the hell would that ever even need to be a requirement? Do they some how conduct business over facebook? Use a company email server, or fucking gmail or something, jeez.
>>54923050
>I have never EVER before looked him up outside of calling his number on my phone
You gave permission to your contacts.
His number and your number are tied to your facebook accounts.
>>54923445
no dude >>54923117 is just retarded
The only requirement I can think of is that you have an email address and a phone number
>I have never EVER before looked him up outside of calling his number on my phone
protip: the fagbook app can access your contacts
>>54923357
This. Either remove it's permissions or install Facebook slim.
>facebook wants permission to read your contacts and calls
>sure lol why not
>facebook reads your contacts and calls
>wow wtf how did they know????? lol
this sums up the average facebook user pretty well
>>54923357
>>54923579
>I gave it permission
My phone came with the Facebook app already installed. it didn't ask me to do jack shit. All I did was login. The app was already there, not something I installed.

>t. NEET
>>54923661
So you bought a phone with facebook preinstalled as a system app and didn't immediately wipe it and install a custom rom? Are you retarded?
>>54923346
yep, also GPS is tracked, whether they use it or not when you don't check in i don't know, but they have all the permissions to do it.
>>54923688
I never even used my phone outside of calling people. I gradually started using facebook when I needed to quickly message people because it's been a steady year.
>>54923741
Literally everyone knows facebook does this.
By simply creating a facebook account and using it on your phone you consented to them gathering any and all data they can get their hands on, it's all in their ToS (I'd link it but apparently it's spam filtered for some reason)
Stop complaining, you have nobody to blame but yourself.
>>54923050
if you've got his number, and his number is linked to his facebook, then it will suggest it for you.
>at work
>coworker telling me i need to add some guy on facebook
>can't find him on facebook search, must have high privacy settings
>second coworker drops in and says "i got his number, let me try"
>his first facebook result is the guy we're looking for
>>54923782
If I uninstalled it and then reinstalled, would it fix it?
>>54923445
It's not literally a requirement, but it's becoming very convenient as everyone, and their parents and grandparents have Facebook. Your university group of 50 people needs a way to communicate, Facebook is simply convenient medium that everybody is already using.
Not having Facebook is like not having a phone. It's weird and it limits your communication opportunities.
