Facebook: Suspending accounts without proof of claim

Millions of users on Facebook have had their accounts suspended throughout this year (2015). Facebook have been claiming that the users affected by the suspension have been 'impersonating someone else or have not been using their correct names'. Facebook requests that users upload two forms of ID to prove that they say who they are. There are a lot of things wrong with this imposing request from Facebook.

I believe that Facebook's request for uploading sensitive information is potentially putting millions of people at risk of all sorts of crimes which include women and children who have escaped domestic violence. Millions of people rely on the connections they have on Facebook for safety, life saving information and other types of support.

I have found a Public Notice to Facebook, admonishing the administrators and requesting that the account user is allow access. Here is the link to a template notice you could send with any ID of your choice (whether made up or otherwise) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bHjcUWvOQwW3Q2NFsKrWv2N6OifR5_JhQE29wU2haIM/edit

If you have any suggestions or have experienced your Facebook account being suspended and now have full access to your original account, please share your method.

    Just create a new account and use names that appear normal, Ive been banned several times by facebook, youtube and google.

    I use names with numbers etc so its obviously not a real name. Why would i want to give them my real details?

    Why does Google need my real details? They want too much personal data and your mad to give it to them.

    I managed to change someones facebook profile without their password and only knowing their email address, but no able to access their email.

    I do hope is more secure now than it was back then.
