ric@fb.com - Facebook Policy Director for Europe

Richard Allan is the Facebook Policy Director for Europe, Middle East and Africa.

The email address in the title of this post is from German public records.

Facebook requires users to use their "real identity", and they claim that the German enforcement effort is a waste of taxpayer money.

Help Facebook understand what users want.

Which is so simple, we should not even have to spell it out:

1) Many, many users will use their real identity (real name)
2) Many, many users will use some sort of fake information in the profile to protect themselves against identity theft, for example, fake birthdays.
3) Many users will use a pseudonym anyway, and if Facebook has a problem with this, we should not use their service.

[UPDATE 5:20 PST] Actually received a nice response re the zombie account.
