Connection - Follow

Connecting with a user or requesting to connect with a user automatically follows the user. When sending a connection request, this occurs immediately and does not require the user to accept the connection request. When accepting a connection request, this occurs as soon as the connection is accepted. Similarly, removing a connection automatically unfollows the user.
