Now a question, if I may: you don't seem OK with Facebook "claiming"
your name. Why do you still have an account with them?

Please, don't take my question as (hidden) judgement or something.
I am just trying to understand how those things work.

And (this should be obvious, but still): if you prefer to not answer,
just ignore my question!
