Facebook's demand is this brain-damaged garbage:

If you want to represent your business, organisation, brand or product on Facebook, you can use your personal account to create and manage a Page.

We have a diametrically conflicting policy, by which personal accounts absolutely may not be used to manage company resources, for exactly the aforementioned reasons of minimising blast radius; so, we basically gave up on Facebook.

The double standard is evident: can you imagine any FAANG security team allowing a major corporate communications channel to be owned by a personal account? Answer: no; because doing something that fucking stupid would be a disciplinary offence.

Yep, I wanted to set up a Facebook page for my company, but as I don't want a personal Facebook account, I figured it wasn't worth it because it would end up being fake info, and they could then just shut it down.
