Usually I don't like these "why I left [company]" post.
However, for this one it struck a nerve. I am not even on Facebook and since about a week ago receive emails along the line "Jan see what [real friend of mine]" has posted.
I flagged is as Spam in this is where the emails now land. But WTF is going on ? This is a severe intrusion of my privacy. What's next. Install camera's wherever I physically go ? Is that the drone plan?

I flagged is as Spam in this is where the emails now land. But WTF is going on ? This is a severe intrusion of my privacy. It's just a trap. One of your real friends uploaded all their contacts to Facebook, and when Facebook found you weren't on it, I guess it decided to send you an email in the hope that you'd be enticed to join in and see what your real friends are up to...on Facebook, of course! I wonder if Facebook does this even for any company/organization addresses that get uploaded or if it has some sort of intelligence not to do that (imagine a "payroll@company.com" or "legal@company.com" or "abuse@company.com" getting an email to check out what friends are up to). As for the severe intrusion of your privacy, Facebook's privacy policy says what applies to its users. You're just a shadow profile who can be monetized in the future or in other ways. You're like an outlaw/alien who doesn't have rights as far as Facebook is concerned.
