Half of them use their real name.

Which would never be admissible as evidence in court. I could make an account right now using your name, would that make you criminally liable for anything that I say?

Also a lot of them are sharing links to content they've posted using their personal FB account or whatever.

Do you think I couldn't create a FB account with your name? Do you know how many friend requests I get every day from redundant accounts trying to masquerade as people I'm already friends with?
