Not to accept MIL's facebook friend request

So the dreaded day has arrived and MIL has joined facebook and sent me a friend request. Don't get me wrong, she's a nice woman but I'm not close to her, we have nothing in common and I don't want her commenting on or seeing everything I do. I don't even use fb that much but I see it as a way to keep in touch with friends only. Her request has made me feel suffocated and pressurised into accepting. I wouldn't even accept my own mother should she suddenly discover what fb was and add me. AIBU in ignoring this request? AIBU to think some generations shouldn't even be on fb?

I agree that whatsapp is my main way of communication with my friends now. Rarely use facebook anymore.

I have my twenty-something nieces on Facebook. Either they almost never post or I'm on a need-to-know filter. I know which my money is on Grin
