		jannes on Jan 29, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Off-Facebook activity Thanks for that link. Looks like the infamous "ghost profiles" are officially confirmed now. I wish they would show the ghost profiles as well, but since it's not linked with 100% confidence they are probably not allowing it because it could be a privacy violation if it turns out that the link was incorrect (i.e. they showed a ghost profile to the wrong user).

I'm not sure how ghost profiles are legal within the EU.

They can’t be I think. No way to opt in. Or even to inform the person.
