[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know now facebook finds the "people you may know" that pop up on the right? Mostly they are friends of friends, but now a strange person is popping up -- I am in law enforcement, and I recently prosecuted him.  We have NO mutual friends, so i can't figure out why he is popping up as a person I may know, unless he is search for me on facebook and facebook recognizes that? I am not an active facebook user, and I have every privacy setting set to friends only, so I can't imagine he can find out anything more than a google search would yield, but still i find it unsettling.

I also find it odd that if you search for someone, you may then end up as a person they  may know......
does anyone know how this works?[/quote]

Hm.  I find that strange.  Also in law enforcement - and all of the "people you may know" that I have, are always people who are friends of friends.  This has always been a concern of mine as well.  Are you accessing FB from your home or work computer?  I would just send the people at FB an email asking them to block him as a "people you know" - simple to do and you have a writen record of the request.[/quote]
