What you will find, however, are lots of people selling services to gather those log in details for you.Comment

Not quite Lisa. Someone viewing Facebook via TOR would still be subject to the same restrictions as a regular user. So if you had your privacy settings locked down tighter than my agent's wallet they would see naff all.Comment

As far as viewing profiles goes, the short answer is that it depends on the security settings chosen by a user for their profile as to whether it can be viewed by anyone, or just their friends. Probably the easiest way to gain viewing rights to a locked down profile would be to look at someone's current friendlist, grab a profile photo from the friend, set up a new Facebook account in the friend's name, and upload their photo, then send a friend invite to your target. If they say they already have you added, just say "Yeah, I locked my account so set this one up to use while I get the old one unlocked".
Of course, as technically this may be identity theft, I wouldn't actually recommend it... just saying you could do it.Comment
