Too many Facebook friend requests how to stop referring friends & unclosing people you may know?

are you becauseFacebookToo many friend requests, want FB to stop recommending friends & unclose people you may know?

Do you know why so many people add your Facebook friends?

Chen WeiliangSummed up, the two key points recommended by Facebook friends:

1. user behavior
2. Recommendation algorithm/mechanism

user behavior

• First of all, it's user behavior - as long as you look good, many people will come to friend you when they see a Facebook recommendation to add you.
• If your profile picture is not good-looking, even if you are recommended by FaceBook, not so many people will add you as friends.
• Especially girls who look like hibiscus, make people feel refreshed, and usually a large number of netizens ask to add you as a Facebook friend.

Platform recommendation algorithm/mechanism

Second, it should involve the recommendation algorithm/mechanism of the FaceBook platform.

• Research Platform Rules (Recommendation Mechanism)
• Research user behavior

systems engineering

From a systems engineering point of view, a system consists of 3 parts:

1. element
2. connection between elements
3. system target

System example

• A football team is a system.

element

1. Player
2. coach
3. team owner

connection between elements

• The relationship between players, coaches, and team owners.
• Performing without introducing new members strengthens the connection between players.
• Strengthen the trust and cooperation between players (the more skillful the cooperation, the greater the championship rate).

system target

• Win the title, or make more money.
• With different goals, the nature of the team may be different.

Facebook's goals

Facebook is a network social system.

The goal of Facebook is to enhance the interaction and connection between users.

• If the new Facebook account has too few friends, it is easy for users to feel unfun.

Increase user activity

• In order to activate user activity and promote connections between users, FaceBook will recommend you as a friend ▼
• (Remarks:Scientists study homosexual brain structure to confirm homosexuality is born, so please don't discriminate against gays)

• As long as there are more active users, the greater the value of FaceBook, the easier it is to make money by selling ads.

How does Facebook turn off "People You May Know" and "Friend Recommendations"?

• Because the goal of FaceBook is to increase user activity and promote connections between users, FaceBook does not provide settings to turn off "people you may know" and "friend recommendations".
• But you can protect your personal information in other ways.

FB friend recommendation mechanism

Some say that signing up for an account on Facebook automatically automatically recommends him to follow a very good friend and a former colleague.

He said no information was filled in except for an email address.

The friend detection mechanism on FaceBook is very powerful:

• Once someone you've connected with has also connected with you, you'll be referred to a Facebook-linked account.
• There are also two people with a mutual friend that Facebook will detect and recommend to you.

Facebook will search based on all your web contacts:

• cellphone numberRegister
• E-mail
• Access to records
• mutual friends
• Login IP
• Place of birth
• work and education
• where do you live
• Contact and Basic Information
• family member

This data needs to be filled in the personal information of FaceBook, and can recommend any data related to it.

Because this is a resource available to FaceBook itself, the algorithm is powerful enough that it is a natural phenomenon that the recommendation to your friends is very accurate.

• The media have also raised questions about the privacy of these companies in recent years, and if Facebook is to be successful in the long term, it must take these kinds of issues seriously.

If you want to be automatically recommended to add a lot of friends, you don't need to set FaceBook privacy to reduce friend recommendations.

If you don't like adding so many FaceBook friends, you can set some privacy settings to prevent many people from adding friends according to the following methods.
