How useful is the info one can even get from this?
I mean even if you interpret unfriending as enemying (which is a leap), possibly revealing interests you don't have, associations you don't have.... it's a lot weaker (to advertisers) than positive information.
- lordCarbonFiber 8y agoAs mentioned elsewhere in this thread, it's probably so they don't recommend those connections in the future. I think the average user would be much more upset at facebook recommending they add their ex as a friend (because of course you have a lot of mutual connections, tagged pictures, and other flags that might indicate a strong bond) than just keeping a black list of people you've chosen to remove.
