No doubt. But why should FACEBOOK even care. Follow the money.

People with accounts under fake names see those ads, too. What's the problem?

I think FB manipulates the count for advertisers so they'll have to pay for those fakes to "electronically see" their advertisements. FB likely generates fake perusal, generating leavings, such IP addresses, when such-and-so ad was "seen", etc. just in case they should ever be sued.

In reality, I don't think those fakes actually peruse, though the counters go up as a result. FB is not so dumb as to not have "pretend proof," however, IMHO. Advertisers beware! Decisions on whether advertising dollars are we spent on FB need to be on the basis of increased revenue, not vaprous hit counts that often may mean nothing at all (other than that FB's cash registers have rung).

I’d like to know how many Fakebook users are actually dead. I mean how would you make any distinctions between actime accounts, light users and all-the-rest.

A buddy of mine has like 3 FB accounts. I’m guessing he forgets his password and just starts over.
