    Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t see “following” as an endorsement at all. To me, it’s an incredibly passive action which affects nothing but a near-meaningless internet number and the content which shows up in your feed. For example, I follow over 3000 accounts on one of my social media profiles. Do my views need to perfectly align with every single one of those? When does it become not okay to follow someone?

    My point is, people can follow a page for a multitude of reasons. I follow several online accounts and politicians specifically because I disagree with the content they post. I personally think it’s better to know what your enemy is up to rather than to stick your head in the sand and pretend they don’t exist. I would hope that doesn’t make me a bad person, but there are many people online who apparently think otherwise 🤷
