A research project involves a small number of students, legally minors - and requires that they set up fake FB accounts for the sake of role-playing in an educational context? Of course, fake accounts are a clear violation of the FB ToS.
Is the use of facebook necessary for this research? Are the role-playing accounts interacting with the wider network or just with each other? If the role-playing accounts are only interacting with each other then could a self-hosted open source social network system be used? This would bypass facebook ToS issues. Daniel -- Dr Daniel R.
