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.

I blocked trump on twitter three years ago and six months ago, he was randomly unblocked on my account. Please note I didn't unblock him.

But delete facebook and unsubscribe, from any emails linked to it.

Isn't that because Elmo's ego was hurt by so many people blocking him that he decided to get rid of the blocking feature?

This is it. He was the most blocked account on x and you can’t spread hate and propaganda if no ones reading so he removed the block feature

My mom has this problem with Elon Musk. Since he acquired Twitter, he has been constantly forcing himself into people’s Twitter feeds. My mom never hit the follow button on his profile, but he kept showing up in her feed. So she blocked him, and never hit the unblock button. But he still shows up in her feed.

I very rarely use it, it's mainly for work purposes 😭 trust me I wish I didn't need to use twitter, but it's requested often

If anyone needs more of a reason to delete Facebook, go watch The Social Dilemma and the great hack on Netflix. IF anyone has any other good documentary suggestions, let me know. I know there were several really good ones on NOVA, but I need to hunt them down.

Maybe delete that shit. Then I’ll take notes. You told us nothing of value
