You Might Have an Invisible Facebook Account Even ...
That is creepy. To be fair that 80% metric is something that Facebook has "measured" and told you, and is probably gear to coax people into finishing things that are unfinished. Some smart social engineering.

Oh no... 80% is my own estimate. I even had pictures of me in the gallery.

How did they do this? Facial recognition? Did you create a profile, upload one picture, and they said "these might also be you?" How did it work?

People tagged me on their photos. From there, facial recognition I guess.
I wouldn't really know how else it would happen.
