Half of them use their real name. Also a lot of them are sharing links to content they've posted using their personal FB account or whatever. They don't even try to have any opsec because they don't think they're doing anything wrong.

Which would never be admissible as evidence in court. I could make an account right now using your name, would that make you criminally liable for anything that I say?

Also a lot of them are sharing links to content they've posted using their personal FB account or whatever.

Do you think I couldn't create a FB account with your name? Do you know how many friend requests I get every day from redundant accounts trying to masquerade as people I'm already friends with?
