A few years ago i bought a Samsung with a feature that when possible, it gives me the name of unknown caller, i guess from the database they were gathering from other people's contacts.
One day my neighbor call me, and i had not register his number, so Samsung shows "<his name> GRINDER", because someone else had him like that in their contacts ^^.
He was openly gay within the neightborhood but he was also working as some sales representant for real estate and he was not exactly happy when i told him Samsung was broadcasting his sexual orientation to unknown people he would call >< (not to mention he told me hadn't used grinder in like 7 years).
That seems absolutely insane! If this is (or was) actually happening, I’m surprised we haven’t heard more about this. As bad as your example is, I can easily think of way more damaging scenarios.
That's a common justification for access, but it is no assurance to how they will actually use the data they gain access to. Knowing how critical profiling is to the IG/FB business model, I bet it snatches a lot of data to exploit later.
