I can confirm that they can. A while back I signed up for facebook for the sole purpose of getting free in-game money for a Nexon game (and I'll avoid any rants for now about how horrifyingly bad Nexon is as a company). I gave it nothing but my name. I used it all of once or twice, and never actually bothered going to anybody else's page.
Within a month it was recommending that I friend actual friends, college classmates, and family members, and none of them even knew I had a facebook.
To this day that is still the creepiest interaction I have ever had with technology.
Perfect example. Facebook uses advanced tracking techniques to create a profile on all its users and to gather as much personal information that they can about it's users. This is done for one purpose only, to make tons of money. I hope people don't believe Zukerberg became a billionaire by providing a place to play games and meet long lost friends. He became that rich by data mining (some might call it stealing), selling personal information, and blasting it's users with advertisments. Many years ago I tried facebook for about a month and I thought it was the dumbest thing I've ever done in my life. I think all social media is nonsense. I only participate in a few forums, like this one, where one can actually learn something and/or help others. #saynotosocialmedia lol
