So I was scrolling though my Facebook about 20mins ago, and a VICE article sprung up. Written and published about Fab yesterday.

Just thought I’d make everyone aware as I’m sure this will be bringing a large number of fake profiles to the site!

Just be aware everyone!!

Fake profiles aren't the problem, it's the genuine profiles of people (men) who think they can register, and will be awash with sexual partners as soon as they hit the enter button.

Some will adjust and become welcome.

Others will become bitter and trollish.

Btw does it worry you that Facebook picks up your interest in Fab?

I try to keep the two separate.

Do you use the same phone number or email for both?

No, I follow vice articles!

It’s just happened to be their latest article.

I was just making people aware that one had been published and was currently circulating on social media.

What is the gist of it? Don't link to it or copy and paste it though.

I’ve read worse articles about Fab, although it does focus on drug taking and breeding parties unnecessarily.

“In fact, the amount of dick pics on a profile is usually inverse to the amount of reviews, meaning that – no matter how pretty you think your cock is – photographing it from ten different angles predictably diminishes your chances of getting laid.”

The journalist understood some of the dynamics.

It's not the first vice article about fab and they've also dove articles about clubs and parties within the swinging and get scenes. Generally they are quire supportive, certainly nothing like the faux-outrage in the tabloids when they mention fab

Seems to be part of the current marketing effort from the owners of Fabs to get the name out there. Drives traffic to the site = money.

You might have to explain your reasoning a little more because that doesn't explain how you've linked the companies House data to Facebook.

If it was, I think the site might get a bit more tlc than it does. For instance the chat room has been a beta test version for about ten years now. Facebook would never stand for that.

I know Instagram is owned by Facebook, but I didn’t realise fab was.

Facebook would never buy fab lol. There’s very little reward for massive risk.

They could maybe make a few million a year out of fab, they would risk kissing many times more than that from right wing backlash.

As for how it’s all linked? Did you use you’re phone to log in to face book and also browse fab?

If so, you’ve give Facebook rights to view all you’re internet history, all phone contacts, location data, etc etc
