Why does Facebook do this?

A few days ago a random profile popped up on my Facebook. When I clicked on it, it turned out to be a horrific story from a woman in Yorkshire whose ex husband had been arrested and charged with rapes.

I had no connection to her at all, nothing. I started reading the comments and there were replies from people from the USA who'd started following her story and offering support so it obviously wasn't just me.

I really dont know. Fb is weird.

It was bizarre. So many comments from strangers all saying similar things eg. 'I don't know you but wishing you all the strength in the world 🙏 '

I had this too. Initials db? It baffled me as well

Yes it was DB. I got really invested in the tale, it was awful 😞

It really was. I also have no connection to this lady but it was shocking
