Comment(by proper):

 I generally think this is a great idea and don't want to be the bogeyman,
 but I am not sure Facebook will tolerate such an app.

 [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/27/randi-zuckerberg-anonymity-
 online_n_910892.html Facebook's Randi Zuckerberg: Anonymity Online 'Has To
 Go Away'] and they deleted my account, because it was an anonymous account
 and [https://sourceforge.net/p/whonix/featureblog/2013/01/facebook-asking-
 for-government-issued-photo-id-ex-passport-drivers-license---whonix-
 facebook-account-permanently-blocked/ they demanded a governmental issues
 photo id]. Facebook really has the opposite goal of anonymity. Feel free
 to call that FUD, just wanted to have that said, because it seems unlikely
 to me they're tolerating an app, which turns the user into a proxy.
