I never connected my FB/Insta accounts and they were created with different email addresses entirely. Was conscious of not letting the two connect. One day my Instagram account started actively recommending my FB friends. Anybody have this experience?

Yes! It's insane. It's probably using location data and IP address among other things. If they had even an ounce of concern about privacy they would detect and explicitly prevent making recommendations across accounts that someone is obviously trying to keep separate.

Gee that's utterly effing horrible. For me that "magic" was just an annoyance, but I see that for a lot of people it is anything but.
