Best answers I can think of here:

"I'm sorry, I don't use Facebook as it seems an invasion of personal privacy"

or

"Ok, here's my Facebook account" and then give them some uber-sanitized account that just has photos of kittens and messages on your mom's wall about her cookies.

Actually, one valid answer is "That's illegal in the state of California."

It works best if you're actually in California, but even if not, it might give them pause.

That results in them finding a different excuse to not hire you and then documenting it in case you sue.

Why not: Here is my link to my facebook portal (include public link). I cannot give you my credentials because I am in a legal agreement with facebook to not give my credentials to anyone.

In case one, wouldn't it be incredibly obvious that you're lying, and in the second case, only marginally plausible that you keep such an empty, vanilla profile?

So not having a facebook account means I'm lying? I really do not have a facebook account so I guess by definition I'm a lier :/

No, that was addressed to tibbon's comment, which I read as him actually having a Facebook account.
