I wish you the best of luck.

When similar events unfolded in Syria, people created redundant social networks of fake Facebook accounts. This seemed to work well. When captured and tortured, people would hand over credentials for one account. People would detect that network was "burned" and move to the next one.

This gave the officials very little information, since the accounts did not reference real names, and locations were obfuscated. High risk private messages were deleted, etc.

The key to this working was that Facebook was not sympathetic to or cooperating with the Syrian government, and accessing Facebook was a common (not worth prosecuting) infraction.

I'd be worried that they will fingerprint / honeypot tor infrastructure, then round people up. The existence of the tor client or connection logs basically proves guilt.

Friending facebook accounts with cutsey names is much less incriminating. Edit: Also, any honeypot proxy connection logs just show that you used https to access facebook.



According to my friend in Iran, Facebook has been banned for some time. Same with FB Messenger.

She has been successful using VPN and WhatsApp until today. I don't know if I'll ever hear from her again.


Just make sure to be reasonably active on those accounts.
