We used to provide (some) banks with data, along with our own in-house derived credit score, for the purposes of credit rating. The data scoring model itself was hush-hush, black box stuff.

I used to think I was in league with the devil tbh. I really didn't like the what the company did BUT I liked the job itself (most of the time), it paid very well and I could walk to work.... that's my excuse!
Seen inside some of those "black boxes".
 
Do you log in to CycleChat with facebook?

If so, then it probably looks for others who have logged in to Facebook with it too.

Is it a bad thing if people know who you are in real life?
I've never tried to hide who I am, on here fb,or any other forum I've used.
I've been recognised more than once, and I'm not at all phased by it, so stop lurking behind the inner tubes and just say hi ;-)
Last time I put an actual picture of me up, got this result

I've met all but one of my Facebook friends, and she is the mother of someone. I don't accept random people. Mostly they are friends or family with the occasional acquaintance and they are set to see less stuff.

If you're a good person then you have nothing to fear...

As long as what is considered a good person today is still considered a good person tomorrow. :smile:

My facebook friends are either family cycle club or my friends in real life, if I get a friend request of someone I don't know I ignore it.
 
Didn't know you could.

You can "Log in with Facebook"

It lets lazy people not have to make an account.
