I was surprised to see that Plex is sharing a bunch of interactions with Facebook despite me only signing in with email. They seem to just blindly correlate the email address with whatever Facebook account it points to. There is no mention of Facebook on their privacy page[1]. As a lifetime Plex Pass holder this has damaged my credibility with them.
One of their employees says this is in error[2] so hopefully it will be fixed.
I guess signing in with email is pretty much equivalent to contacting Facebook if this is possible to do.
Besides that there are physical retailers that send data to Facebook even though I don't recall giving them any idea identifying info. I feel powerless since I rely on Messenger for communication with friends, who I've tried and failed to convince to switch elsewhere.
Yeah, I was really surprised to see Plex in my friend's off-FB-activity list. I've been wanting to switch to Emby, but I already have a Plex lifetime membership, and it would be difficult to get friends to make the switch. I'm not liking Plex's direction with getting into the streaming business, along with this FB spyware mishap.
I don't think it's be email (or at least not ONLY email). The page shows a company is sharing my data with Facebook and my email address is different from the one I use with that company.
