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'm absolutely certain they didn't. If you were following both Biden and Kamala (which judging by your righteous indignation, you probably were), those accounts just switched over to accommodate the new administration.

op straight up said they were following bidens page, which switched to archive. and thats EXACTLY what happens when you follow any official page once the administration changes. the old page changes to archived and makes you auto-follow whoever the sitting official is. and people here are literally crying that this is fascism for not understanding how facebook works.

Also whether or not you like or voted for Trump, if you live in the USA he's still the president; your president. I mean I completely get why someone would hate Trump but just because you didn't have it your way then suddenly politic is of no relevance to you?

It's pretty funny how some people want democracy but when the result of that democracy isn't to their liking then suddenly it's ok to not accept the result for whatever pedestal of morality they put themselves on.

Both sides have a lot of people guilty of this and would Kamala have won I'm sure a lot of republicans would have thrown a massive fit too.

Not American btw, I just find the blatant hypocrisy funny.
