It just became a lot harder to turn down a friend request on Facebook. Used to be you could click ACCEPT or IGNORE. Yes or no. But the company quietly changed those options this week to ACCEPT or NOT NOW. And it's a pretty big step.
If you choose Not Now, the prospective friend goes into a kind of limbo. They get an up to date feed of all your status updates, photos, anything you do on Facebook. That's if you leave your privacy settings in the "share with everyone" position, which is the default setting.
I copied a segment of this article from American Public Media's "Marketplace." Follow this link to the entire article.
