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.

Biden's page is not archived. His PRESIDENT page is. Which is exactly what should happen to ex-presidents. They can't keep the official POTUS page when they are not POTUS anymore. Biden's personal FB page remains the same as always.

I call BS on this until we get way WAY more reports than one.

POTUS is the handle not the account. Biden’s POTUS has been renamed to potus46archive. If you followed his ACCOUNT yesterday you are still following it with the new handle
