A fake facebook account would allow you to give away the personal details of someone that you hate, advertise darklords and keep your own identity a secret.

You can think of it as a single-purpose pseudonymous account. That 'single-purpose' can be whatever you want it to be. For example, you could have the name Dee Lordio or Dar K Lordio or something else vaguely resembling a real name. The point is to be able to access the features of FB, especially the 'friend' networking part; often, you use it to promote something you want to promote, whether it's an idea, a point of view, cat photos, a WL clan, or whatever. Think of it kinda like a blog in a way. People who 'friend' you get updates about stuff you post, like notices, etc. You can also use it as a generic platform for discussions or chats.

I have used such pseudonyms in the past. I kept all my personal info 100% out of it. The only thing they could really track on me would be my IP address (too lazy to bother working around that, but if you're concerned about even that, you can easily hide it), and whatever associations I generated as a user under my single-purpose persona/alter-ego (such as topics ('likes') and other FB accounts (real or pseudonymous)). The only 'friends' I kept were people who openly shared the same interest in the topic my single-purpose alter-ego was interested in and promoting. It really is quite analogous to a blog network in a lot of ways, but much more interconnected and amorphous.

I never thought I'd say this... but I kinda agree with Darklordio on this one. :-P

I recently experimented with the scary possibilities of cyber-stalking.

I know a friend of mine has this high-school daughter. I found her on social media. Through which i easily traced her to multiple other social media. Then i looked up accounts of hers on other sites.

At this point, i could expose her for fun to the Internet if i wanted to. It's fucking terrifying.

Oh because she is annoying as hell, I'll go ahead and inform of some things though :

She is

-a fanfic writer (for "Once Upon A Time", whatever that is)
-bisexual (top kek]
-extremely feminist /pc
-has hair dyed with green (not neon, it's this ugly grungey green)
-pushes her opinion on other people.
-has zero tolerance or patience for those she is not friends with
-hates her mother (and probably her dad too, i don't know)

It's so fucking Pleb-like. That's not even half of the things that irritates me. And she's always there too when i swing by at his place. It's really uncomfortable.

IF you are still in school, I don't advise you guys to have warlight on facebook because it get's block or messed up at times. I have been trying to switch my account to email as I have seen it's better to log in from anywhere.
