If I sign up using phony info and use a new email which is only for fb, always use a vpn and a browser (chromium) that I only use for fb can I be anonymous? I ask because there a couple groups that I’d like to join that only use fb. Thanks.

    well your activity can still be tracked and eventually associated to your other internet activities.

    • your online times can be correlated with your other accounts and software you use on the same device
    • browsing behavioral patterns
    • a combination of tracking mouse movement, clicking and typing can be used to create a very unique fingerprint
    • VPN’s are not really “anonymous”. you just trust some random company to not sell you out

    but realistically nobody has any interest in what random facebook groups you join as long as its nothing legally complicated. so the questions is do you want to prevent your friends and family from seeing what you are doing, or do you want to do stuff that could get you in jail? if its the former then a separate account is sufficient. if its the latter then you should do a lot of reading.
