Creepy: FB uses your Google searches to suggest friend (and who knows what else)

Just noticed that people I googled appeared after a few weeks in my FB "people you may know" list. Try that for yourself.

My housemates randomly appeared on my linkedin a few weeks after moving in. No idea why, i'd never googled them or even emailed them afaik. Creepy.

You should request for your Right-To-Information and find out if your google search trends are being used by facebook and sue them both.
