When Facebook talks about "real accounts" they mean only accounts that are not very obviously fake in a way an algorithm can detect. It's unquestionable that it is easy to set up a fake account in FB and it always has been. If they tried harder-- and they almost certainly will have to due to political pressure-- it will still be pretty easy to find more sophisticated ways to fake an account. With an advertising model there are always going to be incentives to fake accounts, and disincentives to FB to close any account. The simple way to stop fake accounts would be to introduce even a small cost to have an account which would make faking accounts not cost effective. But that's not their model.
