FB can ban you for any number of things. Apparently not for impersonating a Congressman

Caution: someone has created a fake FB account based on my picture and name. The person with the fake account is actively trying to defraud people. Here’s the sad thing: we told FB yesterday and they haven’t done anything about it. I spoke with Facebook reps today and they claim they can’t do anything about it unless we provide them with a link to the account. You’d think they could find and delete the account if we give them the name and the picture - but they claim they can’t. Sad!

Oh, they can ban you for impersonating a socialist member of Congress. Trust me on this.

They probably could find it with a name, but as a policy, they probably need a link to ensure that they are looking at the correct and specific account that has been reported. Pretty easy to just go to the fake account and report it.

I don't think congress should become a special class of people , but fakebook is
social engineering at its finest , Google, Twitter, Youtube.
I realize this is no news here, just saying.
If it was some kind of Nazi thing or someone saying that there were variations in IQ's from
race to race , they'd have burnt the servers down looking for it.

From the OP, it's not that FB won't ban the fake account. It's just that they need a link to it to do so. Seems reasonable.

They could do it without that for a socialist member of Congress. Trust me on this.

Why bother with a Facebook page? They can do whatever they wish, being private property and all.

The only purpose it serves in my life is to be a point of contact.
