More than half of 11-15 year old girls using Instagram and Snapchat in the United States have been contacted by strangers in a way that made them feel uncomfortable, according to a report by Common Sense Media, a nonprofit organization that reviews and provides ratings for media and technology in order to safeguard children.

I'm not talking about people connecting to me, I'm talking about people facebook thought I should see through notifications.

Talked to a couple of them and it's like "Hey, is there any reason on earth why I should know you?" and they're like "No..."

Because of course not. Facebook just wants to drive engagement and thinks showing me a carousel of pretty girls will do it.
