    How could it be criminal? No... it's not. The fact that many households have a single shared computer would make it impossible to enforce a "one account per IP" policy.

    It's not criminal offense but then again if you keep creating many accounts from the same ip OVER a period of time; it could be looked upon as suspicious.

    I don't see what you would need multiple facebook accounts for IM'ing for, unless of course it was spamming or tricking people. But of course I could be wrong, I'm curious why it is exactly that you would need more than one.

    It is not a criminal or civil offence in any jurisdiction that I know of - it's probably a criminal offence to have just one account in China though!

    Its not ethically good but you can't say it a criminal activity. If you're not using it for threatening people etc.

    This is no criminal or civil offence. There might be onsite rules about how many accounts you can create, most of them do - but this is not a criminal offence under any circumstances

    No - not a criminal offense, however its against their terms of service, which can get you a lifetime block, and can get your personal facebook account blocked and banned as well. I'd recommend finding another way to make money.

    Everyone seems to agree its not criminal, but FB won't like it. Making so many just seems sketchy, what exactly is it you are trying to do?
