I regularly check my ex’s public Facebook

[Anonymous]

I regularly check my ex’s public Facebook. Wondering if he can In anyway know that I am doing this? I know private profiles can see exactly who views them, but what about Public?

You’ll show up in his friend suggestions, and he’ll know you’re looking. Also, if you message him, it’ll say how you found him.

Why do you check? I just don’t get it.

Even if it’s a newly created public account he made? I never joined Facebook so I don’t have my own account.

It’s the same as sticking your finger in a wall outlet and getting shocked. I’m gonna gonout on a limb and say you don’t like getting shocked, so why check your ex’s Facebook? ?

He won’t know!

We still have no clue how FB is mining the data.

You need a hobby! It may be your human nature. I didn’t say I care, it’s a waste of time.

Private profiles can’t see either. Just if you click on the “story”. Unless there’s a newer feature I guess. It changes a lot.

But yes to the friends suggestion. Although if you have several mutual friends, this wouldn’t be weird.

No, private accounts don't get a notice of who is stalking them. But, like was said above, you get friend suggestions for people who looked you up.

Is that true that you get friend suggestions by people who looked you up? I thought it was only “mutual friends” who show up in suggestions? It always seems to be people who share many mutual friends or had been in my email contact list sometime in my past.

You can’t view any Facebook profiles, even a public one, without an account of your own - right? Are you confusing it with LinkedIn?

[Anonymous]

Just to add - you will get friend suggestions for people YOU looked up — but I don’t know about the other way around.

Stay the F off Facebook and life will be better...

Regularly is a little odd. I've checked out exes and former friends/acquaintances. If anything it makes me appreciate my life quite a bit.
