Algorithm. All social media platforms use metrics like your mutual friends, contacts you have saved on your phone, your profile data (places of education, places of employment, similar interests etc.), and your location to suggest "friends" and pages to you.

The algorithm suggests people it thinks you may know based on metrics. The easiest way to be seeing WGs on your social media is by having their number saved on your phone that they have linked to their ESA profile and have then created a social media account registered to that same number, or by having one of their "friend's" numbers saved to your phone and then the metrics suggests their mutual friends to you etc...

Good reason why guys and girls should use burner SIMs and phones for this industry and their stage names on social media. If your real name is linked to your cell number and you use it in this space, people will find out your personal information through social media when your face pops up there and they recognise you.

Some ladies do use their work numbers to open social media accounts with their stage names to promote their content and services. Never ever use your private number for your ad or punting if it's linked to your private social media with personal details.




WOW she's so smart.

Algorithm... maybe your phone Instagram and the lady's phone Instagram used location proximity. Both phones app realized you'll are next to each other. Then the second Algorithm rule matched her Instagram friend in sandton as a suggestion based on industry.

Anyway I like Ashleigh's understanding of the Algorithm and also Instagram Facebook and whatsapp are owned by Meta. So they'll apply whatever logic across platforms to auto suggestion. You not hacked.. just complex logic..

But Ashleigh very smart. She's an IT girl... I like her..

I nearly died while scrolling through Facebook. A wg I saw in February popped up on my friend suggestions list and we have NO mutual friends. Thank you guys and girls for this.

Anyone found a way to work around this yet?

A couple of years ago, a wg I knew used to search punters on Facebook through their phone numbers. She found out their real names. Facebook has now disabled that feature.

Get a punting sim. If you use your phone to call WG and it's the same phone you use to go into Facebook the algorithm will suggest her as a Facebook friend because it has picked up the connection
