Then that's called "following" somebody. You can do that without their consent, but of course you only have access to updates that you'd be able to see as a non-friend.

Slightly tangential, but what's to stop me flipping one bit in a JPEG and uploading it again. JPEGs are renowned for being fault tolerant to even the most aggressive mangling of the file structure, as long as the header is intact it will preserve some integrity

Facebook will shut you down if you become popular.
