It's not possible not to it you want to visit USA. If you don't, they'll reject your visa or deny entry. Thr only way is to use brand new cheap android before or after ( after is better ) and resell it once you go back. Most corporations do so

I beg to differ - meta both facebook and Instagram have loads of issue with crimes like human trafficking, pornography including the revenge one, scams and even live streams of rapes.

Every time you try to report scams or even impersonating anybody they reply "it doesn't violate community standards"

Easy, Slavic languages have declination of names. Both first and last names. Some last name are gender specific (different suffixes for males and females but considered "the same"). Have fun in non-slavic countries trying to convince the officials that you have the same last names (mother and the son).
