That's a really interesting point.
I created a new burner FB account (I don't use FB) to go with my Quest 2.
I used a fake name and a gmail burner account.
However I've had to enter my credit card details to make payments so they have my real name, bank details and address information. They also know what I'm watching, what I'm buying etc
So my question is - do they call me out at some point and tell me to add a real name or prove my ID. Or do they let me carry on under my burner account because they can still profit from me both from my spend on apps/games and by selling my real data?

- ve55 6y agoimo Facebook has enough data that if you want to use it completely anonymously there is no reasonable way to put in half of the effort, and even Visa gifts cards won't be enough.

- ve55 6y agoIt's very hard to say, and I would imagine it's hard to say even for the average Facebook employee too, given how large the company is. If it was a single coherent entity with its own knowledge map (which, last I checked, it still isn't, but I will check again in 2022), we could probably reason differently about it though.
