That's a really interesting point.

I created a new burner FB account (I don't use FB) to go with my Quest 2.

I used a fake name and a gmail burner account.

However I've had to enter my credit card details to make payments so they have my real name, bank details and address information. They also know what I'm watching, what I'm buying etc

So my question is - do they call me out at some point and tell me to add a real name or prove my ID. Or do they let me carry on under my burner account because they can still profit from me both from my spend on apps/games and by selling my real data?

Use a Visa gift card next time.

imo Facebook has enough data that if you want to use it completely anonymously there is no reasonable way to put in half of the effort, and even Visa gifts cards won't be enough.

I'm split here between saying "Doesn't mean you need to make it easy for them." and "How 'interesting' must a completely anonymous account look inside FB?"...

(The only way to win is to not play the game...)
