Thanks. I've been asked to find out for a Palgrave biography. It's very strange. People assume that she did but no one seems to have found out how. I can only prove that it was possible but would love definite examples.

High school history books are both boring and inaccurate. Films and some fiction are worse. I had to spend the first weeks of class unteaching Dan Brown. Sigh

... They said it was an advertising account. I have never advertised on Facebook. AI screwed up again. I can't contact them without ID and I won't give it to META . It's like ICE out of MN if they send voters rolls to Bondi. Thanks for the help.

I went into the site and found I could do nothing unless I send them personal ID. This includes one of the following: driver's license. passport, green card, credit card, etc. Right. They won't tell me why they cut me off but it's for an account I don't have...
