You should also wonder how many things you’re being participated in.

Even if you’ve never had an account on social media, chances are Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. know your name, email address, age, social graph, etc. because other people have shared their address book with them. Other users also might have tagged photos with your name, after which those sites concluded “that must be the same officeplant that’s in their address book”.

I expect LinkedIn to suggest people to connect because you’re their mutual friend, for example.

Its one of the reasons I contemplated keeping a facebook account to remain in control of a few things. I had turned on the option to let me verify all tags and it was great to be able to deny tags, but I always assumed facebook still knew it was me and could associate the same untagged face across photos that still had my name listed (just not tagged due to denying).
