On: Violating Terms of Use Isn’t a Crime, EFF Tells Co...

how do you prove that i have a fake facebook account? obviously i would have to log-out on my mobile and laptop

If you don't have identification that matches the name of your Facebook account.

but how would they find this "name of your facebook account"? yes they will have my ID, real name, finger prints, etc. but how would they figure out that I am using facebook account "puppy123"? And even if they would suspect it somehow (someone would report it), I can simply deny and there is no evidence that I am in fact owner of that account. or what am i missing?

If you're logged into it on your phone/computer, it's evidence that you created the account. Or else you logged into someone else's account which is also a ToS violation.

thats why i wrote in my first comment: "obviously i would have to log-out on my mobile and laptop"

There are a whole lot of facebook accounts that I don't have ID to match.

[xyzzy4 → thfuran]

It violates the Facebook ToS to have an account with a name that doesn't match your ID.

[wtetzner → xyzzy4]

Right, but how could anyone prove that you are the one who created the fake account?

[xyzzy4 → wtetzner]

They could look at your phone or computer and see which Facebook account you are logged into. This won't prove you created it but even logging into it is possibly a ToS violation.

Face recognition could also work.

Note that this is rather hypothetical.

I'm not sure how this would work. You mean if Facebook started requiring people to login via webcam/facial recognition?
