I think the parent meant that if you are a non-famous person and this kind of stuff happens to you, then you're screwed.


Yes. I probably should have phrased it better.


On the other hand they don't ask for passport copies from non-famous people (I presume and hope, but then again this is a slippery slope)


They ask for official ID from anyone trying to prove that a name they've flagged is, in fact, their legal name. It's their process for getting your account unbanned.
