Hi, I have some questions and I don't know how to proceed, I need some orientation.
The problem is that instagram and Facebook are suggesting me people, and suggesting me to people, that they only could know that I know them, by using data about me that they shouldn't have or use.
For example, I create an instagram account. I don't link this account with my email or Facebook, and I don't install the instagram mobile app. I only fill in the phone number field with my real phone number and choose a password and a fake username. Then a friend of mine is seeing my account as suggested and after a couple of days I see him too. There is no option for disabling that, and that behavior is not part of the privacy policy. I found some other scenarios too that I think can probe this and others privacy violations.
What should I do? I don't live in the United States. Can I demand Facebook? Remember that Facebook owns instagram, whatsapp and Facebook itself.
Thanks, I would like to hear tour opinions or similar cases.
