    I am running a English website and a Norwegian website.
    I would like to have a Facebook account in English and one in Norwegian.
    Is it allowed to have two accounts, and how can I make two accounts?
    I don't want to violate the Facebook TOS by doing it...

    Hi Megazine man :)

    Sorry but your only allowed to have one facebook account for your own person. As stated in their TOS;

    Section 4 Registration and Account Security

    Facebook users provide their real names and information, and we need your help to keep it that way. Here are some commitments you make to us relating to registering and maintaining the security of your account:

    Rule # 2 You will not create more than one personal profile.

    My suggestion to you would be to create 2 seperate group or fan pages in both languages to hit both markets. This way your not breaking the FB TOS and will not run the risk of having your account suspended or deleted.

    Hope that answers your question.

    Definitely listen to Rudebwoi.
    Facebook is pretty sticky about this stuff and not very nice in how they handle violations. You'd likely see both of your accounts deleted instead of just the new one.

    You might get away with it for a while but every now and then they do a serious crackdown and thousands of people get their accounts deleted.

    Thanks for reply:)
    I will do as you suggest and create one fan page on each language.
    I might link to the fan pages instead of the Facebook profile then...

    It's not illegal but it's again the rule to use facebook. They pretty much will delete both of your accounts if they found out about it.

    Well, we all now know that is against TOS, but are you worried what will happen?

    Let's take a look ata simple case. *This person I know* has 7 FB accounts. *This person* logs in from the same IP and same computer everyday, more then once. *This person* has this accounts for almost a year now...

    Oh well, sorry FB. :) They must think his house is a cybercafe :D

    Well then he is taking a risk, i am surprised. Normally such people use anonymous proxies to do multiple accounts.

    I do not know if you can, I think we are not allowed simply because there can be two of the same person in the world. but do not see why Facebook would have two accounts for the same people. that seriously, so thats why I want two.

    Generally two facebook accounts is not permitted but personally if you're opening a facebook fan page you can specifically open a fan page without a profile account. Not too sure if that might be more acceptable. That is what I'd do. Just click start a fan page for webstie, business ect.
    It essentially create a page but no profile and not like a regular account

    Maintaining multiple accounts, regardless of the purpose, is a violation of Facebook’s Terms of Use. so you cant

    Yes, but so many IMs have different accounts for their different niches?

    You are not allowed to have more than 1 account, all though that's just theoretically ;)

    I had 2 accounts. One was suspended so I created a new one. In the mean time Facebook then reactivated my old account. This left me with 2 accounts. A week later Facebook blocked me again for now having 2 account.

    So in answer to your question if FB's algorythms decided you have 2 accounts they will block one or both of them

    Same here, for example i use a wifi from a friend, now his family, hm 3 users, my family 2 users, that are 5 users,and 2-3other accounts i have ( fake accounts) , we all log in from same ip.
    I think you are safe to have 2 accounts, just don't use two names.
