Facebook is a more powerful tool. This is evidenced by even recent reports that the entries that placed in service as a public can be searched.
Each of our kind of interaction with Facebook is for portal servers source of information. Algorithms developed by programmers Mark Zuckerberg learn what is important to us, important. At the same time they strive to ensure that the scope of our interaction with the service expanded to. Therefore, we propose a content that is potentially of interest to us. These same algorithms they want to network our knowledge grew. That is why sometimes we see a list of people we know. We can, because we were checked once for one event, we were together for someone’s birthday, etc.
Did not work out you, but “may know”?
American users of dating sites have reported, however, about disturbing phenomenon. Facebook displays them as “people you may know” people met on dating sites.
“It’s usually people you do not even talked whose number erased, with whom I have mutual friends. It’s really frustrating. ” – Writes one of wearers OKCupid.
Frustrating because Facebook proposes to add to the group of people with whom users of the site do not want to know.
Portal Motherboard quotes Emilio Ferrara’ę, specialist from machine learning Indiana Unversity.
“Probably the social networking trade data. This means that Facebook can know the activity at another site. In this outing fitting the data is very simple,” – explains the researcher.
Interested deny
The Tinder ( which more we write here ) and OkCupid, services społecznościowo-dating, firmly but denied.
“Do not act so “- said the representative of the first portals.
Facebook spokesman said however:
We do not use information from third party applications to offer users with friends in the ‘People you may know”.
Betrayed by smartphones?
So why Facebook may know that you may know each other? Perhaps for numbers which are in our smartphones. We are writing to someone SMS and Facebook to draw the conclusion: these people may know.
Algorithms Facebook seem to be at the same time not to understand the context of the whole situation.
“A year ago, shortly after parting, Emma Luren decided to return to dating and set up an account on the site OkCupid. Her first date was a failure. The boy did not look one bit like profiled the picture, late in the evening weaved about conspiracy theories on September 11th. He also had grievances with the lit cigarette just before attempting to kiss. Emma never spoke with him, blocked his phone number because he has become insistent when she ignored his message.
After this catastrophe woman said that is not yet ready, to meet new people. I deleted my account on OkCupid and stopped thinking about the fateful date. By the time she saw her “lover” among people that Facebook offered her in the “people you may know.”
– explains Motherboard.
Facebook denies that it obtains data from other sites, but does not explain anything, or “associate people” on the basis of SMS messages sent at one time. As you can see Facebook algorithms are extremely sophisticated and intelligent, they can not distinguish between situations that most people are clear.
