I think that if you googled 'Father Christmas'....It would say that he has a Facebook page......just a ploy for you to go on there....try it with any name you can think of +Facebook

Hi Jen, you don't need to change this. FB doesn't put up anything you've posted or googled onto the internet

It uses your FB public folder. The info & picture you see when you search for someone. Its just used so that friends, old & new can search for you on FB.
If you turn it off they can't see you as a member of FB
