Oooh I've been trying for ages to kill my insta FB link. My FB app permissions is null and zilch, but FB must have secret storage of this.
I'll try that. Then kill the fake account.
- thomasahle 9y agoWhat's the point of removing the link between your Instagram and Facebook accounts? It's all stores on the same servers anyway.
- sundvor 9y agoI created my Insta account before FB bought it. For some stupid reason I let it connect to FB for (limited) sharing some pics, rather than doing it manually - then that was it. I don't want all my FB contacts to "see me" on Insta; I just have tonnes of people adding me with no real interaction. The integration is really quite obnoxious. I have in fact stopped using Instagram now due to this.
- wmwm 9y agoI never connected my FB/Insta accounts and they were created with different email addresses entirely. Was conscious of not letting the two connect. One day my Instagram account started actively recommending my FB friends. Anybody have this experience?
- jzl 9y agoYes! It's insane. It's probably using location data and IP address among other things. If they had even an ounce of concern about privacy they would detect and explicitly prevent making recommendations across accounts that someone is obviously trying to keep separate. The best breakdown I've seen of this issue, including glib comments from Facebook: https://gizmodo.com/how-facebook-outs-sex-workers-1818861596 https://gizmodo.com/how-facebook-outs-sex-workers-1818861596
- sundvor 9y agoGee that's utterly effing horrible. For me that "magic" was just an annoyance, but I see that for a lot of people it is anything but.
