Use FB anonymously



It's possible to be pseudo-anonymous to a good extent, but full anonymity from FB while having a network of close friends, relatives and colleagues and interacting with them is not possible. Many people who use FB share their entire contacts/address book with it (this includes names, phone numbers, email addresses, etc.). FB can use that information easily to figure out who you may be, collect and correlate information and target ads for you.


They even have shadow accounts that are placeholders for people not using their service. They have anticipated probably every plan you've concocted.
