Yes, I wasn't suggesting we had a higher or lower one, I think it's
largely similar.

But I guess in the sense that our idea of "who" is pretty much that as

I think it provides "family" assurance, but Facebook identities (more so
than Google's) can often be traced to people through deductions based on
what's posted. But not in an automated way, so depending on the use case,
it's certainly possible that one is more useful than the other.
