The ability to find information or profiles on the social media platform, Facebook, without requiring an active user account login represents a specific mode of access. For example, an individual may want to verify the existence of a business page or locate information shared publicly by a specific organization without creating a personal profile or signing in to an existing one.
This type of access offers benefits related to privacy and efficiency. It allows individuals to gather information without disclosing their own identity to the platform or being tracked via cookies associated with a user account. Historically, accessing information on Facebook was strictly tied to having a registered user profile. However, the platform’s policies have evolved over time, allowing for some degree of public access, although often with limitations.
