I don't know if Facebook still does this, as I've completely nuked it from my life, but when I had an account I asked it to turn off all email notifications. But if I didn't log on to Facebook after about two weeks I would get an email saying they were concerned I would miss out and so they helpfully turned email notifications back on for me.

I didn’t use Facebook for a few years and they sent me a completely fake account security notification. I was super mad about it.

Sometimes when they created a new feature (eg. Groups), they would email everyone about activity on it even if email notifications were off.
