Facebook, People You May Know.

[SparklyKid]

I sometimes look to see if we have mutual friends. There are some which lead to a porn site.

Why does facebook allow this ?

[barry1010]

It is too big and doesn't have enough moderators. They do remove them when they become aware.

[ummmm]

That's never happened to me.

[SparklyKid]

Just scroll through the "people you may know" pics.

[ummmm]

I have a few times. It's never happened.

Facebook must access peoples browsing history because I was looking on Amazon and eBay for garden sheds and lo and behold when I went on FB there were ads for garden sheds and suggetios for landscape gardening pages. .

So..................................

Where is the link to people I may know? I can't find it

[Zacs-Master]

Maybe the people you know have become Pornstars?

That's a girl in a bikini, not pornographic. Unless you clicked on her profile and saw something else?

//Where is the link to people I may know? I can't find it//

Underneath the banner at the top of your home page, underneath your profile pic

[SparklyKid]

The pics appear somewhere down your home page.

Titled " People you may know" Most are genuine and have mutual friends.

I did, purely out of interest you underwstand.

[barry1010]

No, I don't have that, APG. Maybe it's my settings that blocked it.

And did clicking her profile lead you to a porn site, Sparkly? Or did you have to make several clicks to get there

I wish I could block it -tried several times by clicking the x (do not show this again) but it comes back every time I log on.

No prob I get links to obscure friends of friends and for some obscure reason born again Christians

Recently, I was browsing my local B&Q Website for a particular kind of paint.
Went on FB and there it was in an advert????
