I have gotten "friend requests" from people who have been DEAD FOR YEARS...

(The only reason I even have a FB account is that the company I worked for required it.)

Yes, you can block any "followers" that you don't care to have follow you but, instead, I go to my privacy settings.  There is a setting that allows or disallows followers and I have it set to not allow random people to follow me.  I also have it set to where only my "friends" can see what I've posted.

Therefore, I don't have followers but I've noticed some of my FB Friends allow followers.

@shoptilyadropagain Is the followers for FB?  I am in the settings now and I don't see the not allow random people to follow me.  I do see where I have only friends can see what I post.

@Pecky    Yes, it is a setting in FB.  Of course, FB makes it extremely difficult to find where all these privacy settings are especially if you don't access them very often.  I'm in the middle of a couple of things right now but when I get finished up I'll try to find where that is located and post it.  Or, you could google it and it should bring up that information.  Good luck!

OK...this should work and I did this using a laptop rather than my phone which I'm sure is slightly different.

1.  Left click on your profile photo in the upper right hand side.

2.  click on Settings & Privacy

3.  click on Settings

4.  On the left hand side, look for "Audience & Visibility".  Click on Followers & Public content under that A&V section.

5.  In the middle of the screem at the top is "Who Can Follow Me".  Click on the arrow across from that on the right hand side.

6.  A pop-up box appears.  Click on the tiny circle to the left of FRIENDS.

7.  Click on Save

HTH.  I will probably not be on much at all the rest of the day but this should work if using a laptop.

@shoptilyadropagain Thank you!  I did google and found how to do it.  I did it on the laptop as nothing was matching doing it from the phone.

I've never heard that before ... why did they require it?

[Tinkrbl44]

I really use FB only in response to my sister's posts.  That's pretty much it.

Question ...

Every time I sign on, there are tons of photos of "People You May Know".

I've never known ANY of them, so I've no idea how they ended up on my page  .... how do I turn this off?

They wanted us all to be "friends"...
