Facebook Steps Up Network To Allow Anonymous Users To Easily Access Site

Facebook is stepping up its goal to allow users to access the social network site anonymously.

MorningLedger reported that this was made possible by the use of software Tor.

Earlier Facebook has launched its Facebook apps Rooms, that will bring users back to the early days of meeting new people on chat rooms.

When the apps was launched Facebook's newsroom described the new Rooms in a statement as "inspired by both the ethos of these early web communities and the capabilities of modern smartphones, today we're announcing Rooms, the latest app from Facebook Creative Labs. Rooms lets you create places for the things you're into, and invite others who are into them too."

It added that the rooms feature are a room of "feed of photos, videos, and text - not too different from the one you have on Instagram or Facebook - with a topic determined by whoever created the room. Early users have already created rooms for everything from beat boxing videos to park our to photos of home- cooked meals.

The app has been launched in the United States and Britain for the iPhone. The rooms also allow anonymous names.

Reports stated that Tor kicked off in 2002 which allow online users to get into sites without having to share data about themselves. Tor work as platform for users to be anonymous.

Now. Facebook is using the software and users can access FB without having to reveal their data.

It also allows users to freely use Facebook without being detected.

Facebook has a change of heart when it announced earlier of its new policy to disallow users who will use fake names but the announcement was not easily accepted and instead Facebook based problems of users moving out of their social network site.

Facebook's answer was to build the Rooms and allow pseudonyms in a move to lure in more users.
