After wasting 6 months, I chose to delete my account.
Lo and behold, soon spam started to show up on this account, as if the floodgates had been opened.
Facebook is also guilty of this.
I set up a Facebook account for a relative around 2006. The e-mail address is name_facebook@ a domain that I control.
Every six months or so, Facebook will send out almost daily e-mails for a month saying "Person x commented on your post!" or some variant. You know how I know this relative of mine didn't make a new post?
He's been dead since 2011.
- joatmon-snoo 7mo agoThat's called a compromised account, not Facebook sharing the email with a third party data broker.
- reaperducer 7mo agoSince all the alleged comments are allegedly from people he knew, and not new strangers, I find it hard to believe that someone has been impersonating him on Facebook for the last 15 years. Especially people who were at his funeral.
- halayli 7mo agoTo be honest, what you did here is called speculation. Claims require evidence, and you provided none. Your confident tone is unjustified imo.
- rapidaneurism 7mo agoHow do you know they are not commenting on old content? FB could be pushing old content like 'remember X from 18 years ago' and then someone comments about remembering their friend under an old photo.
