A fascinating thought on this for me is the basic American belief that "bigger is better". What I mean here is that the companies generating these fake ids will generate lots of the fake ids, under the belief that the more they have the more influence they have. At some point, the fake ids will reach a tipping point and outnumber the real ids thus making Facebook itself irrelevant. Sort of a "DOS" using fake ids, in this case a denial of relevance. There are some interesting paths that this could take, but I don't see any incentive in Facebook really doing much about this because their power actually lies in also "Bigger is better". So, generation of fake ids could be a blessing by overloading Facebook and making it irrelevant.
