I am curious, however, what will happen to people who really don't have a facebook. I've never had an account, would they believe me or assume I deleted it?

Diligently create a facebook "version" of yourself which appears to be a great worker/student/whatevertheywant?

I mean you can fight the system, but sabotaging it is so much more fun.

ftw!

The savvier kids have been maintaining multiple Facebook accounts for years: one where they friend their parents, family, church pastor, etc., and the other (under a pseudonym) where they have fun. It's like the social equivalent of a TrueCrypt hidden volume. Plausible deniability is the name of the game.
