But not according to Facebook. Here's what their little help page shows me...
Why was my account disabled?

Well... My name on Facebook was not EXACTLY my authentic name but close. I mean, really... how many people use their 'authentic name' on most internet sites? Are they saying a person with a name like 'Josephina Hope-Rosetta Kellerman-Patrinskia' must use that exact name on Facebook? Wouldn't 'Jose Kellerman' work just as fine, so long as the person isn't trying to be deceptive?
"Personal accounts must represent individual people," they state. What about this profile? https://www.facebook.com/phillip.cat.31
My only activities over the last year have included interacting with my daughters and one or two friends. How often? Hell, I only logged onto Facebook maybe once a week. Real life is where the fun is happening!
At any rate, now the fine folks at Facebook, according to the information at (https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/183000765122339) want me to scan and upload a government ID that contains my name and date of birth or name and a photo, or two non-governmental IDs that contain my name and date of birth or name and a photo, or some combination of different IDs... Honestly, I didn't read much past the first two options.
Sure, they do state that things like Social Security Numbers, credit card numbers, etc... should be covered up, blurred or otherwise obscured.
