Facebook Friend Requests
« on: 23 November 2024, 11:42:01 pm »
Hi All!

This is my first post, so I apologise if I miss any positing etiquette.

I have a separate number for my SW (OF, AW, VS, WhatsApp) which is not linked to ANY social media except my work Instagram page. This IG page is not linked to a Facebook account.

I am extremely cautious with exposing my real name. I have long(ish) term clients who I see almost daily who STILL don't know my name, and even other porn stars I have worked with do not know. I have no punter site reports at all, so no risk of my name being leaked there.

My personal Facebook uses my real name and has location and contacts turned off (it is linked to my PERSONAL mobile number). Over the past 2 weeks, I have had 2 ex clients who I have had to block add and message me on Facebook. One is a local, one is from over an hour away from an old tour. HOW HAVE THEY FOUND ME? We don't have ANY mutual friends/pages/groups at all. Both said I came up in their "people you may know" and they recognised my face.

I have obviously blocked both after figuring out who they are, but not before ripping them a new one about invasion of privacy etc etc. Also updated their CE profiles for other SP's.

Does anyone have any clue how this can be prevented?

I'm not on Facebook, so not sure but I think that Meta could potentially connect your and client's accounts just by physical proximity.
I'm not sure, but if your personal phone (with personal Facebook) is on during the booking, it could kind of connect with the client's phone?
Or maybe by logging in from the same IP to personal Facebook and work Instagram connects the two?
Facial recognition maybe??

That's from Chat GPT: "Facebook sometimes uses location data to suggest connections. Even if you have location services turned off, their app might still pick up occasional location pings."

Maybe removing your face photo from Facebook would at least prevent clients from recognising you?

You can amend the settings to not allow the public to add you as a friend.

Are you showing ur face on ur profile and pictures?
If yes, then they use those new phones with AI facial recognition software to find ur Facebook, they just circle ur face and all ur linked pages show up.

Sometimes it gives friends suggestions of people in close proximity. So u may have come up as a friend suggestion. Best way is to private your Facebook and remove ur face pic as a profile pic so even if you do come up as a friend suggestion they won't know who it is. Logging into the same wifi will do same. I never log into hotel wifi or clients home wifi for those reasons.

Yes i think it works by using bluetooth / location proximity
Maybe OP switch off Bluetooth / location

But for FB I would put up a pic of a  flower or something bland
Change your settings so that no one can see you - apart from friends (if you want )
Maybe change your user name slightly
Set so no one can add you
Don’t allow friends of friends to see your FB

Don’t allow friends to tag you
Don’t sport allow searches by mobile numbrr
Go to setting and reset all your private settings to the highest

Do you have your sex work emails pushed to your personal phone?

Hi all!

Thank you for all your replies!

It must just be physical proximity!!

That is so sneaky of Meta to be able to do that despite location services being off  :-\
