The most concerning for me is that I have a blank Facebook account. The only thing it has is my email address from an old email account that I still have but rarely use. I have one old pic up with no profile or other information. It's under an alias, not my real name. I was out a couple of years ago at a cover band that was playing the local hotspot. The couple that sat down next to me chatted with me a little bit and we watched each others chairs when they went dancing or to the bathroom. They were visiting from out of state
The next day they showed up in my "suggested connections" on that Facebook account. The best I can figure is that someone somewhere took a picture of the crowd and uploaded it. Facebook then ran facial recognition and decided that we were talking in the pic so we must be friends. Other than that I have no idea how they would have connected us.
