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.

    You can’t remain unlinked to your real identity as seen by the government because you need to provide your id when buying a new SIM

    This varies by country. In the US you can buy a prepaid mobile phone with cash and supply it with prepaid cards, all without showing ID:

    (but obviously they can figure out who you are by tracking your signal and seeing where you spend your time.)
