Re:I just caught Facebook giving Likes from the unwilling. by webvet on Monday September 16, 2013 @02:21PM (#6394825)
After you found out about this, did you find his page in your Likes list?

If you did, could it have been that you somehow - inadvertently - clicked Like on his page/ad?

If your answers are yes and no respectively, I'd say this is profound indeed!!

Or Facebook could just be saying that certain people liked things without putting it in their list of likes. I first had a suspicion that Facebook was doing this when my feed said that several of my friends had like a Mormon based page when I know that none of them are Mormon would have no reason for liking the page. It could have been that they mistakenly liked it I suppose.
