Glad to see that someone understands the issue here - free speech.

I also don’t understand how creating a fake profile on a free internet website amounts to fraud when it isn’t done for any financial or material gain.

Actually the issue is criminal activity, not free speech.

From the Terms of Service:

4. Registration and Account Security
— Facebook users provide their real names and information, and we need your help to keep it that way. Here are some commitments you make to us relating to registering and maintaining the security of your account:
—— 1. You will not provide any false personal information on Facebook, or create an account for anyone other than yourself without permission.

[...]

5. Protecting Other People’s Rights
— We respect other people’s rights, and expect you to do the same.
—— 1. You will not post content or take any action on Facebook that infringes or violates someone else’s rights or otherwise violates the law.

Clearly multiple violations of a legal contract.
