No, I didn't accept friend request from unknown. It is no safe to accept unknown person. Known person requests sometimes turns to harm. For better and peaceful life rejected unknown friend requests.

I don't send nor accept friend requests to/from strangers online. It's totally unsafe. Cybercrimes are prevalent so, let's not get attracted nor close to such crimes.

you are right when you accept stranger then you open your profile information , your pictures, your friends list and your personal Information. I know that we can restrict them from viewing some  information and pictures but it is better and more safer not to accept.

If I'm taking to them in a forgot dating. Yesterday some lady in the United States sent a friend request and I refused. Had no idea who she was. Safety is important too. But sometimes networking is important too.

I get your point , network also important but  the priority is for safety ,I don't think it should be with someone behind the screen that we don't know .

Yes, I do

Only after checking the profile of the stranger, if it's a real profile I'll accept the request but when the account looks fake I'll decline

How can you be sure that their information is right ? and if their profile is okay would you accept it if you add a stranger to view your pictures , friends list and private things.

Some people account screams fake the moment you sight it

Others look quite okay, I'll accept those ones that look quite convincing..besides is a public space , everyone can see what he wants, if I didn't want any stranger to view my picture then why did I upload them in the first place

 I am not talking about the profile picture we all know that it is public, but inside your Facebook don't we share pictures with our families or other pictures for us in special occasions, don't we share our location, address, workplace and other information, maybe that stranger is a dangerous one and appears for us a good person.

And from other side suppose this person is hacker and start to contact our friends. I think we should take care as much as we can.

by the way i respect your opinion just am explaining my point of view, each one think in a different way.

I sometimes do not do it. I usually check his or her profile before adding him or her. If too suspicious enough to think friendly, then no acceptance will happen.

I think that  you can't always  figure that the profile is faked, people can add any pictures and any faked information.

You have a point. If you are keen to check closely, you can see some flaws in their accounts. But then, it is easy to say than detecting these false people or posers online.

For me I prefer to stay in the safe side , I don't like to have Strangers on my Facebook.

In the first place, we should not set up the account in public. For me, I need to do it because I am selling online.

No,I don't accept friend requests from people I don't know on Facebook. A lot of people pretend to be others and may get private information to use to their own advantage

yes you are right it's the best way to protect our privacy it's better than accepting and regret.

I have trust issues, it is difficult for me to even trust a real person whom I have known for a long period of time, I would never trust any stranger. Yes, I can have casual chat with them, but I won't consider that relationship a friendship.

Yes I do accept the request, it can't be dangerous since you they can't do anything to you. As long as you don't place all your personal information on social media you are safe. Peoe who reveal everything about there life are the ones who may be in danger but t I haven't heard of anything someone can do to you using social media apart from hacking your account or trolling you.

During that times when I was very new to Facebook I accepted and requested friend requests from every person that was I came across on my people you may know section.


One day I had a  strange lady who requested me a friend request. I quickly accepted and she went ahead asking my phone number. I then hurriedly typed it and sent to her.

To my surprise I received a text message immediately with a resetting password code. Then she texted me immediately asking me to give her back the code I had received.

Alaaaas! She would have hacked my account if I weren't wise enough to give her the code. I unfriended her instantly and blocked her forever

It is generally not recommended to accept friend requests from strangers on Facebook. It is important to remember that anyone can create a fake profile, and it is important to be aware of the potential risks of accepting friend requests from people you do not know. Additionally, it is not recommended to send friend requests to people you do not know, as this may be considered inappropriate or even offensive.

I do accept unknown people as friends on my Facebook because that is what Facebook is all about to meet new people and get to know them better.

 No,it is advisable to exercise caution when accepting friend requests from strangers on Facebook or any other social media platform. It's important to consider the potential risks and privacy implications before adding someone you don't know personally as a friend. It's recommended to be selective and only accept friend requests from individuals you trust or have a genuine connection with.

Accepting friend requests from strangers or people you don't know can be very risky, because it's very important to be caution and you should accept request from people you have a genuine connection with or the people you know personally because some people create fake account for malicious purpose.                                                                                  Some times I send to people I don't know, because you might be attracted to someone, viewing their profile ok, but the truth is that it's not really safe to practice because of scammers seeing that the world had changed, and some strangers might be genuine and some strangers might be fake, so be careful for safety reasons.
