Yes.

Possibly.


Yet neither situation makes sense to pull their profile pic in as mine.

Might as well select a profile pic at random, at least it's more likely 
to be a single person in the photo.


It seems there's either a big bug or a huge privacy invasion has been 
uncovered here, and I just don't know what to do to get it "out there" 
to a wider discussion where it can blow up or be explained.
