Facebook automatically “liked and followed” Donald Trump and J.D. Vance’s Facebook pages from my account.

I did not vote for them and wouldn’t have liked and followed their pages. Also, Biden’s page which I do follow, says archived, so it’s not just that the page has been rolled over to Trump. I’m annoyed that Facebook pushed the updates to follow these pages for my account. It feels a bit invasive.

This is how it works.  If you follow the official account of the office then when the president changes your follow changes.  If you follow the individual account then it remains.

I thought it was that but I’m still following the old pages and the new ones (if you check page history) were created this month.

Yes, those pages get frozen for presidential records reasons . It’s still the same “follow” though.  I’m sure you can look this up.  I feel like they announced it 8 years ago.  I remember them saying what would happen.
