The ability to access publicly available content on the world’s largest social media platform without requiring a registered user profile is a capability sought by many. This entails browsing profiles, posts, and other information made openly accessible by individuals or entities. For example, a journalist might wish to examine a public figure’s Facebook activity without creating a personal account.
This functionality offers several advantages. It can allow for discreet research, preventing individuals from being identified while gathering information. Furthermore, it broadens access to publicly shared data, including news and updates from organizations or public figures, for those who choose not to engage directly with the platform through registration. Historically, methods to achieve this have varied depending on the platform’s policies and security measures.
