> Facebook officially does not make privacy violating recommendations How do you know this? Do you work for Facebook, or are you just guessing? It seems to me it could be a combination between chaz's explanation and yours. If the friend he added is also friends with the OP's grandmother, cousins and other friends then it seems OK that Facebook would "recommend" those people to the OP. But then, why those people and not all of his other friend's friends? Could it be using the contact list of the recommended friend's to prioritize those recommendations over all others?
