FACEBOOK LURKERS When you’re on Facebook you will notice a PEOPLE YOU MAY KNOW list which suggests friends you may want to add. Most likely the people you will see in the suggestion list will be friends with people who you are Facebook friends with or perhaps third parties. Facebook will also show up anybody who has been lurking on your Facebook account. They will also show up on your PEOPLE YOU MAY KNOW list. Even if this person isn’t friends with anybody you are friends with (or third parties), they will show up on your friend suggestions. So next time you look at your Facebook PEOPLE YOU MAY KNOW list, pay attention to it. Sometimes you will see some suspicious newly made Facebook accounts. If you have a stalker or an ex-partner or ex-friend who is lurking on your account, this could be them under a fake account.                I had a friend named Sharon (not her real name) and she has a long-term boyfriend ...

DELETING PEOPLE OFF FACEBOOK                 Facebook is an interactive website and that’s its purpose.

You aren’t their friends.        ...

  FACEBOOK CULL                 I have decided to do a cull on my Facebook. I would rather have a small group of people on my Facebook than have a large number of people who are questionable. When I say cull, I mean cull on Facebook as well as real life. My safety and emotional health needs to be a priority. I only want genuine people in my life who are decent and good people. I am on the internet at least once a day for an hour or so and I use the internet to do things that I enjoy, photos of friends, family, cats, history stuff, and music. just want to use Facebook and feel comfortable using it without feeling concerned.                 I don’t cull people that often, but at the moment after everything that has happened, I feel it’s the best thing to do. I’ve had people online who have been nicer to me than some of the friends...
