We can broadcast it on FB and see if it gets some attention at least (not holding my breath!)
I posted this on my FB page for others to share, and at first FB recognized and hyperlinked Laura's name as usual. As soon as the message was posted, the link was gone. She doesn't exist on FB anymore.
Wow I have the option to like, comment, or share other posts on your wall except that one. Apparently we are only allowed to like or comment but no sharing. Are they throwing a temper trandrum because this is ridiculous
I had it happen to me with a business page on FB maybe a year ago. So I was instructed to login with the same PC from the same location that I used to create the account ( hey what if I moved or got a new PC? ) so I did that. No go. That wasn't good enough. Then they asked for a copy of my ID. I mentally flipped them the bird and decided that I don't need the business page enough to bow down to the borg.

I have two friends that were using obvious false names for years on facebook.
They have both been blocked recently.
The first one gave is real name and has got is account back. I don't know if he has do give is ID.
The second one didn't want to give is real name so he created another account with a not obvious false name which happen to be an existing name.
It may just be that their machines looking for fake accounts didn't recognize your name as a real name.

The same has happened with a 2/3 people i know on FB, in the last 6 months, most chose to revert to their actual name (rather than a made up one) but i have no idea if they provided i.d.
In this instance, however, i'd suspect there may be an element of selection. They've already declared that they're looking to specific algorithms which will determine 'news', and more than the usual number of links i've been sharing don't show up as they should, ie. no image and just the link.
Retweeted the tweet but it may make the point better if it we tag FB's twitter account in it _https://twitter.com/facebook ...

Good point. There are SO many fake accounts and i know from experience using FB for marketing, they are HOT when it comes to people who have been reported ie. you get suspended for a week if caught spamming. Which reminds me that i was doing it from a fake FB account with an obvious fake name, for 6 months (stopped in July).
Linked in uses a program which highlights any posts with spammy language - got banned automatically from there even though wasn't spam. Added: but they removed the ban in 3 days and NO id required.
So yeah, seems deliberate. Especially since we probably should bear in mind they can SEE the activity and they have records of any complaints, but obviously there are none! In fact, Laura is actually driving traffic and 'engagement'.
Just saw this and reposted Chu's message on FB and the cass page with Laura's Knowledge and Being videos as a proof that she exists, see, she is in the vidoe! And send the youtube channel as a link in my Contact FB message, for the same reason. Also told them that Laura is a writer and thousands of people know her. I got an automated reply that my message will be answered soon 
I have about 15 people in my friends's list that I KNOW the name their using is a fake one, like Lady Libra for example. It's ridiculous that they will bloke Laura based on her name... if that's the case.

Friend of mine on FB just sent me this link from back in Feb which reports that Facebook does sometimes ask people who use their real names to "prove their identity"...

But in these particular cases, a few of the names in question are ethnic and may sound fake. But in Laura's case, being that her internet presence is so strong and her name doesn't sound fake at all, it seems more like a deliberate attack.
