Creating multiple Facebook accounts was easy back in the day.
Why would you even want another Facebook account, though?
Before all the delete Facebook!
Knowing Facebook, I suspect that is probablyvery difficultto do, if not impossible.
Use Facebooks hardware
Im sure youve read aboutFacebooks byzantine rulesfor its Oculus hardware by now.
Yes, thats a completely absurd policy, but thats the new normal as far as the Oculus goes.
But, hey, at least you could now use multiple headsets with one Facebook account andnotget banned.
How do you create another Facebook account?
Heres the tricky part.
What do I mean?
Well, lets walk through the process.
Facebook asks you for the usual laundry list of details.
Dont use a phone number.
Seems prudent, right?
Youll then get sent a code to verify your email:
If youre lucky, thats it!
Thats all youll have to do to get your brand-new account up and running.
What do I mean by that?
You have a secondary Facebook account.
If that doesnt already get your hair on edge, it should.
What does this mean?
Well, put on your tin-foil hat.
(All we care about is the different IP address.)
I wouldnt doanythingon my fake Facebook account that I otherwise do on my real one.
Dont friend your friends.
Dont associate identifying detailslike the same phone numberto two accounts.
I would disable every feature or service on my Fakebook account that I knew I wouldnt be using.
I wouldnt associate this Facebook account with any other service.
Dont use it to log into anything.
Dont play games on it.
Dont do anything with it.
Its a glorified RSS reader; nothing more.
But, c’mon, donotupload a picture of you to your fake account.
Basically, assume that your new Facebook accountcould go away at any time.
The risk, to me, seems too great.
Besides, if you quit Facebook once, why would you want to start up a brand-new profile again?
