Facebooking Sending Friend Requests.

So, Facebook is sending friend requests off their own accord, from the profiles you've been viewing/stalking 😂

Which got me thinking, does anyone have a second/Facebook account that they use solely for stalking?

I'll go first. Yes I do 🤦🏻‍♀️

That glitch was fixed yesterday.

And no, because Facebook has a habit of finding them and closing all your accounts, and then you lose all your photos/friends/etc. It impacts on their revenue directly, so they don't play around.

Is this true?

I had a look at old school friends's profile that popped up (not stalking) but hadn't seen her since primary and didn't see the point in sending her a request. I hope she doesn't receive one from me.

I have a second account on my work phone with a different email address

I wondered why I had randomly added someone on Facebook. All I did was look at the profile as he runs a local business. I didn't remember adding them.

Yep it is true! There's a whole thread on it here:

Very awkward for a lot of people!

Thanks bonsdsy. I've just checked my Facebook sent requests and thankfully nothing, though it looks like I sent a request to someone two years ago and they didn't accept, though I have no idea who they are, though we do have a mutual friend. Removed that at least.
