i've been working in a coworking space for a few weeks. I have 0 professional or social media interactions with the other people in the office, but I just checked linkedin's suggested connections and a bunch of them are there "based on your profile". i assume this was done by ip crossreferencing but it was weird as gently caress.

These people may have tried to look you up. Or they may have uploaded their entire address book to automate that process.

Facebook used to ask this too, to the point of "give us your e-mail password and we'll only download your address book".

If you can't avoid having something/someone spy on you, you could try to feed it incorrect data.

This government agency sent me a letter with a survey, asking me for feedback on my experience with them.

They said it was anonymous, but they keep sending reminders asking me to do the survey, because they can see I haven't bothered.

How do you get all your worthwhile friends to move over to not-facebook?

it's not really a problem if you have no friends
