There is nothing on the telly, that’s why

Re: Merged Facebook threads.

I visit Facebook quite often.
I think it is perfectly safe if you're careful.

I do occasionally receive 'friend requests' from complete strangers who, coincidentally, always seem to be particularly attractive young ladies.
I can't think why.

I invariably reject them, though. I'm a bit choosy like that.

Re: Merged Facebook threads.

Whatever you do, DO NOT click on any images like that. I made the mistake of doing so when I saw similar amongst those people on the 'People you might know' section, that resulted in hundreds and hundreds of pornographic images and videos being sent to my account via the 'People you may know' section. I was getting up to 200 of these a day and despite complaints to Facebook I simply couldn't get them taken down. They all had their own Facebook accounts but their 'Friends' were those who displayed the pornographic images and videos and there were thousands of them too. I complained daily for as long as six months, being 'suspended' several times for sending so many images to Facebook themselves under their useless complaints system. The options are there to report Pornographic images and Nudity but they are never seen for what they are so are never, or very seldom, taken down.

It all started with the odd few images of what were American Pit Bull dogs, on the 'People you may know' section. It was a banned breed in this country. I complained about that and eventually that was reduced but then these pornographic images and videos started to be sent to my account. Most of these so-called 'People you may know' and their 'Friends' were people from Thailand and countries in that area.

It was after about six months of this that I stopped using the account, with the intention of then seeing what was happening and closing it if necessary. It all stopped so I still have that account but it's not used much now.

What made me continually complain about it was that any child could easily be on the receiving end of this filth with two clicks. When I think that 13-year-old children are allowed to have an account on Facebook and there are many who are far younger than that. These people do not consider the age of the account holder so anything is possible for anyone.

No worries.
A pretty face and sexy legs don't necessarily represent what's down in the 'engine room'.

Re: Merged Facebook threads.

Yes, I know that now but originally it was in the 'People you may know' section along with those images of my niece's and granddaughter's 'Friends' and it was a name I didn't recognise so just clicked on it, then later wished I never had done so!

Re: Merged Facebook threads.

Yes how do I delete a thread or a link that I subscribed to on Facebook? I have quite a few and some just need to go. This is with using an iPad, so It might be different from another devise.

Re: Merged Facebook threads.

It's probably the same on iPad, go to the three dots in the top right hand corner and select from the list, delete etc. For groups, you go on your profile, go on the group page and under the heading there is a button to leave, join, follow etc. There may also be an unfollow button next to the group on your list of groups.
If you want to unfollow something or someone , go on the page and do the same thing.
Hope that helps.

Re: Merged Facebook threads.

Thanks Tess. I just did that on one with the 3 dots, but the one I really want to get rid of, can’t find anything to delete. But will keep trying.
