Rumor says that some 8% of FaceBook is false names.
Rumor says that some 8% of FaceBook is false names.
I trust this rumor to be true.
Now I never look at "Models"
due to almost all of them have
plastic surgery. Looks artificial to me.
But one young lady had a blog
and other young ladies did not like
her style so they created FaceBook
accounts pretending to be her and
wrote false things about her views.
She found ten such accounts that she
reported to FB.
And a reporter at a blog just for to show
FB that they need to shape up he created
some 20? accounts that all of them where false.
Took months for to get them shut down despite
him telling FB the url to them.
8% sound not much but if one have some 800.000.000
users then 8% is very many accounts.
The problem with the management of such vulnerabilities
is that FB has to take such measures as to ask for Mobile phone
authentication that one are the one that one claim to be.
And to ask other FB users to report on false accounts
which has the bad consequence that Bullies tell FB
that real persons are false person just to bully them.
I have no solution to this. I am not good at logic.
I just wanted to share that one should not trust that FB
can handle it nicely.

If i could do it over, i would not have used my real name.
For some reason my sister uses FB as her primary means of keeping in contact. Otherwise i wouldnt have a FB account. Many countries have banned FB, if i had my way, a webpage that contains your info you want to share and MSN or ICQ or Skype should be all we would have.
i now multiple people who use 2 accounts one with a false name so they can talk to some people and not have to put up with other relatives or haters etc.
I think it should be mandatory to use an identity that is only a handle, like sickgut or nooby rather than real names to stop cyber stalkers and alot of drama on FB.

Don't use the same pictures on your pseudonym page, as on an identifiable page as it is possible to do an image search, e.g. ... https://www.tineye.comsickgut wrote:... people who use 2 accounts one with a false name so they can talk to some people and not have to put up with other relatives or haters etc.
e.g. the same picture of your pet dog on both webpages will give away your identity, even if the image file has a different name and is stripped of metadata.
its dishonest to use your real name and say this page is a realistic representation of my life.
on the Davis Wiki, they prefer real names however,

Among schoolkids stalking and cyber bullying
is so common that the teachers and parents
are worried about it and ask for help.
Several kids have committed suicide
due to cyber bullying.
Their school mates tells them they look ugly
and are so effective in choice of demeaning
words and rhetoric that they manage to drive
them into depression and losing fate in life.
True anonymity is the only way to solve this.
Maybe one could have a trusted lawyer or priest
that knew real names. Someone backed up
with the best expert on secure database or
that only had it in written paper ina safe
with secure guards to watch out for the Bullyies
