I learned tonight that if you have a friend request on facebook that you've not accepted, just let it sit there and done nothing (not denied), then that person can see all of your updates and posts.

Another way to handle it - is to go to your privacy settings, down at the bottom is a "block list" - add them to it - then your page will come up page not found. I did this after everything so as to keep myself safe.

Why not deny them in the first place? Are you really going to come back later and add them?

I agree. What's the point of letting the request sit there? <>. FB has privacy settings for a reason. Use them, people.

One might not 'deny' them because, if there are friends in common, facebook will continually recommend that you be-friend that person.
