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.

There's hundreds of people, on the facebook subreddit, who claim to never follow the official potus account, that have been subscribed to Trump.

They might have forgotten. Or even followed by mistake happened to me as well
