In a previous thread I shared how I had been locked out of my FB account because someone had brought to their attention that my surname was not likely my true surname.
After two weeks of thinking about it, I thought I would set up a new account with my first and middle names and my gmail account, a different account than I had used for FB previously.
Soooo, I enter first and last name (used middle name as surname) and put in different email address and a password I have never used anywhere, for anything.
Up pops a list of suggested friends. Tons of people I have never heard of as well as some of my friends from various parts of my life. What most of them have in common is that they are gmail contacts of mine and also on FB, apparently. I don't think every one in in my gmail contacts list though. I was FB friends with them some, not all of them, on my former FB account. One is a friend of my sister's but my sister has never had a FB account. One is the wife of a friend from church but we were never FB friends.
It all feels so "Big Brother is Watching" to me.
Any thoughts? I haven't completed the steps to start this new account. Feeling a bit uneasy.
