We can spend all day arguing anecdotes. As a counterpoint, I've never used Facebook, but once tried setting up an account to participate in a group event organized by some friends - by the next day, before I could even use the account, Facebook had locked my account, and wanted a photo of my ID to let me access the account. Needless to say, I abandoned the account.

The person who I replied to made a personal challenge to try creating a fake account, so I responded with my personal experience doing just that.

I was not making any claims about the likelihood of an account being banned.
