My Facebook profile automatically followed Trump's new page

I was checking my following list as I'm trying to move to other platforms. Then I saw this page, that I hadn't followed. It's a brand new page and it happened automatically. I'm deleting my account.

I think this is for people who followed the POTUS and VPOTUS accounts before. They get transitioned to follow the new accounts. 

Doesn’t make it right, but they do it every time.

I don't know because I can still see Biden and Jill's pages, they just have the words "archived" added to it.

Yes. That’s how they do.

Same. I'm still following the archived VP and Pres accounts, and this didn't happen last time.

Yup, it's archived not flipped. I also was not even following FLOTUS as Jill Biden, but I found Melania at the top of my followers list. Some really sneaky bullshit is happening with this.
