FWIW, this is rampant in many parts of Asia, too, with a similar discrepancy between traditional culture (Confucianism in China, Catholicism in the Philippines, Buddhism in Thailand, Islam in Indonesia, ...) and today's realities.

Several young women maintain several distinct social media identities: one for family, one for friends, one for "daddies".

It might not be that much strong discrepancy. Although traditional culture is against sex before marriage, it prescribes strong gender roles. Male is supposed to earn money and pay things, women is supposed to be nice, gentle and provide nice feelings to him.

If the parts about lifelong commitment and no sex before marriage fails, but other gender conditioning remains, the various sugar daddies etc are logical/natural consequence.

And then Facebook starts offering your “daddy” account to your family in the “people you may know category” because it sees that you hang out with them in the same location

You can't have multiple Facebook accounts. That's an offense that gets you banned if they figure it out.

> if they figure it out.

key word there. I hope FB doesn't crack down on it, people are (IMO) entitled to multiple online identities and false identities. I'd like to keep work and private separate; I have a friend who uses a false name to try and avoid her stalker, etc.

Actually... Many, many people do.

Most often, when they suspect you have more than one, they'll close the multiples after requiring you to verify your identity on one (or more) of them.

Source: I only have one, but I run in occult circles. Many folks keep their occult stuff seperate from their main friends, family, and work account, with some overlap. Sometimes folks will go through and turn them in, and most folks turn around and make yet another new one.

I don’t think they actually try too hard. I have two accounts which the most trivial of algorithms would have caught and haven’t been flagged >5 years in. (Always logging in from the same machine, no cookie clearing, in quick succession).

[Quarrelsome]

oh you totally can. They just don't want everyone doing it. I have at least three.
