The simple solution is to have a fake FB account that shows up publicly. Any ‘real’ friends you have can be privately contacted to become friends with your Roger Kirchwood account.

i definitely don’t know my facebook password. i never did. it was randomly generated by password safe and i use password safe to enter the password for me when needed. if i’m not carrying my password safe with me i have no way to access such things. i wonder what they’d do if confronted by someone like me.

I don’t see how having a website makes you any safer than Facebook. They’ll demand access to the credentials that log you in there, as well.
I’m not sure I even know my Facebook password.

Again, another reason not to have a Facebook account. So after using Facebook as a hub for all of one’s private communications and relationship mapping, you get forced to sign into your account, compromising your password and likely all your information stored on Facebook by a theocratic security guard. What’s more, all of your dissident friends who “friended” you are now pegged to be monitored.
Seriously, if you want a web presence, get a website. And keep your address books private.
