The foaf:follows property relates a foaf:Agent to another foaf:Agent whose activities they (in some sense) follow.

The foaf:follows relationship does not imply complete information flow between parties, and should not be taken as evidence that any agent will necessarily be aware of some particular activity. Typical use is to indicate subscription or follows within Web based services such as social networks, microblogs life-streaming and news syndication services.

This property is neither function, inverse-functional, nor symmetric.
