I have a personal page and another page for my crafty business. When I set it up I invited my FB friends to like it. As far as I understand they got a message stating just that and they could accept or decline.
Another FB friend has a personal page and has just set up her business page but I get a message that she has added me straight on to it. Nothing to accept or decline. It is not something I'm interested in so have unjoined the group but am curious as to how this all works. I dislike being added to things without my say so.
