Explanation:

The word "friend" has taken on a more expansive and looser meaning on Facebook compared to its traditional sense. Also, people often accept and send friend - requests to those they've never met in real - life on Facebook. Older adults are indeed a growing user group and use it to reconnect with old friends. Distant acquaintances on Facebook can have relational value, and the platform can lead to more self - disclosure due to its less personal nature compared to face - to - face interactions.

A. The word "friend" has not changed meaning because of Facebook; B. People aren't likely to accept friend requests from or send friend requests to people they have never met.
