    Tldr: Someone can guess reasonably where you are by sending you a glitched friend request notification on your phone that tells the hacker what data center you’re closest to.

    It is pretty clever but I wouldn’t call it full deanonymizing, should still get patched though.

    good find by the tester.

    Edit: used the term ‘glitch’ for simplicity of people reading, didn’t mean to upset people; I’m just an amateur.

    Just don’t use Facebook. Get your friends contact information and text/call/meme directly with them or in groups. You’ll find it a much more encouraging and rewarding experience if you connect with people instead of let some big company tell you how to engage with your friends and family.

    Edit: I did not expect this thread to be so controversial. I suspect a lot of people really are not ready to give up Facebook.
