Hello:
I'm a private type individual. Furthermore, I UNDERSTAND how personal data gets spread around, so I am scrupulous about my personal information. In fact, I'm literally off the grid. Very few people have my personal email address. Every OTHER internet contact, aside from SECURE sites, have a gmail address that is forwarded to my personal email address. Suffice to say, I guard my data.
Consequently, I am NOT a member of Facebook, nor ANY social website - and I mean NONE! THIS is as social as I get online. Therefore, you can imagine my surprise when I got an email from Facebook, inviting me to join, and listing people from my OWN email contact list, telling me that I already have friends there...
How in the HELL do they know that? They've either snooped into MY contact list, or those people's... But, if they snooped into theirs, my personal email address wouldn't be found - yet Facebook has it.
What's up with all that?
