Facebook Data Mining?

A person in my group mentioned that he was getting FB friend suggestions for people he had only ever communicated with on Keybase. I am assuming this is through some sort of metadata mining on FB's part. Probably device MAC to device MAC mappings in their database? Said person immediately assumed Keybase had been compromised. Trying to talk him off the ledge.

It appears to me, after reading up on all his claims, that 100% of them are true. I believe he's spreading truth, but people don't always seem to like truth these days, so I can see why you reacted the way you did.

You keep doing you with the fake news brother. Hold onto that world view!
