To sign up for a Facebook account, go to facebook.com. Enter name, either email address or mobile number, and password. Birthdate need not be correct, just over 13. No need to supply any of the other information requested. Then go to https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=privacy and adjust each setting.

Note: Even if you don’t have a Facebook account, many websites report every page you visit to Facebook. An easy way to block tracking by Facebook, Google, etc. is to use the non-profit Privacy Badger -- which also speeds up browsing.
