Once I looked up a work acquaintance due to her general odd behavior. Not on FB, but court records. ( Her Facebook was covered with dog memes, who cares.) Yup, numerous clashes with the law regarding 2 peace orders, financial debt, and a couple of law suits. A lot made sense after that.


I do the same- especially the weird quirky co-workers. I often see things I wish I didn't lol.

It also makes suggestions based on geolocation data and common interests and all sorts of things. It is not just who looked you up or who you looked up.
