And how do they know it's your 'real name'

The whole point about FB (and this forum) and all the web social sites, you never really know who you are talking too.

Most of Azz's forums are OK but I just couldn't get my head around FB and never felt I knew who was able to access my posts.

I don't know how they know I suppose they go by address and email etc. They have ways, if people call themselves by a funny name it seems to attract attention even some using their real names have had problems.

Twiz maybe this is connected to targeted marketing and they need your proper name for this to be effective.

Could be Meg. I think what's upsetting folk most is losing all their posts and photos. Some entertainers who call themselves by stage names etc. are also losing business. Also people are losing touch with friends who they only know by their fb names

Re: Merged Facebook threads.

I'm wondering how they can know if the names are real or not. Apart from obvious quirky names, that is.

My friend's dog has a FB page - her name is Becky Mutt. Will they twig, I wonder?

Good news! Facebook have had to apologise to drag queens for the problems caused by this, also transgender and abuse victims so that's a start!

Re: Merged Facebook threads.

Does anyone on here ever play Candy Crush? I do at times. It can get a little addictive. Of course I never fall to the powers that be at King Entertainment & purchase anything.

They time you out after 5 games, then you have to purchase. All you do is change the date on your phone & it's free again.

It's fun isn't it? I don't play it on FB because I have an App for it. I'm only on Level 199.
