Fake profiles on Facebook?

[Kittysue]

Facebook requires you to use your real name AND have a phone number to set up your account. If they think your name is fake, they will close your account unless you can provide a copy of a government issued ID (birth certificate, passport or drivers license) that has the same name as on the account
Not everyone has to put up a picture on Facebook. I have a friend who works for the prison system whose profile doesn't have her pictures on it as she doesn't want any prisoners to be able to find her.
You can also set your profile to private so ONLY your friends are allowed to see what's on your page. Nobody but my friends can see my posts or photos
