On Facebook. Really? Are you joking?

More to the point, are you always using a trusted VPN IP-anonymizer EVERY time you connect to any of your Facebook accounts? Because if not, you are delusional about your alleged anonymity on Facebook.

Their business is to find out everything about you, and connect it to everything else you might be connected to.

So if you post to your named accounts, and post to your unnamed account, from the same computer, and/or while at the same IP, you're already hosed.

Anybody who supports a communist-supporting enterprise like Facebook by posting there deserves all the pain, humiliation, and inconvenience they get...

I cancelled my FB account two years ago. I realized that FB was drawing conclusions about me NOT based on what I posted, but on what my friends were posting. Guilt by association.

I swear sometimes I’ll be TALKING in my room about buying something, and an hour later, Facebook is giving me ads about the thing we were talking about. (seriously, I assume that we do a google search at some point, and that is what triggers Facebook to know I was interested).

But I do the multiple-facebook accounts, not for anonymity per se (although only one had my real name until someone “reported” me and Facebook tagged a character account I have with my full name, I’m still annoyed at that).

My family account only has family members, and I never really post there. And I have 3 other accounts, each for groups I associate with, so that my posts about steampunk and fashion are seen by peoplle who are interested in that, and they don’t have to see my posts about halloween, or my posts about theme parks.

I presonally feel like Facebook could make some money if they added this as a feature, you make one account, but subdivide it, and accept friends to your sub-accounts, and those friends only see things you post to your sub-accounts. (I realize you can make “friend lists” and post things to the friend lists, but that doesn’t impact your likes/dislikes, or your comments which can’t be filtered easily).
