That is creepy. To be fair that 80% metric is something that Facebook has "measured" and told you, and is probably gear to coax people into finishing things that are unfinished. Some smart social engineering.


Oh no... 80% is my own estimate. I even had pictures of me in the gallery.


How did they do this? Facial recognition? Did you create a profile, upload one picture, and they said "these might also be you?" How did it work?


People tagged me on their photos. From there, facial recognition I guess.

I wouldn't really know how else it would happen.
