FaceBook is inundated with fake accounts in the past week (since "updating" to their new layout).

10. In case you WANTED to know ...

In the FB app there's a section called 'people you may know' and it's normally populated by an algorithm that basically identifies connections between people you know.

If 20 of your friends are friends with Doug Smith, but you are not, you get Doug Smith as one of the people in said list. The more 'connections' the more likely the person is to be near the top. There seems to be a time limit on these, they do cycle over time.

There should really NEVER be anyone in this list that isn't friends with a number of people you know. The complaint here is that they're now seeing (probably) fake people who's pictures function as Trump ads, that are not friends with anyone they know ... in this list.

It's very friggin deceitful on FB's part because these Trumpists (real or not) could not 'cause' this to happen on their own ... unless perhaps they've discovered a bug with the redesign and are leveraging it. That seems less likely than FB shenanigans, but is also possible.
