Since its inception, the social network has only allowed one account and a personal profile associated with it. facebook defines itself as “a community whose members use their true identity”, so having more than one account violates their community standards as stated on their website.

This test is conducted with a specific group of social network users. facebook allows them to create four additional profiles, none of which require a name or mention of a person’s true identity. It is only required that they do not use numbers or special characters.
This was reported to the specialized portal by the representative of the social network Leonard Lam. TechCrunch. Lam argued that the initiative aims to “help people tailor their experiences based on their interests and relationships.”
The ability to manage up to five profiles from one account will allow the user to assign each of them to a specific group or interest. For example, one for communicating with colleagues and another for communicating with family and friends.
Lam reminded that any user who accessed this feature is still required to abide by the rules of the platform. In addition, it was ruled out that this measure could change the indicators of the social network, such as the number of daily active users.
Campus, similar alternative
