Pseudonymity is a double-edged sword; it enables people to hide from abusers online, but it also enabled a lot of online abuse (Twitter is rampant with the stuff, not that Facebook is immune). I don't know which side is right, and I wish that there was some way to combine the best of both but so far nobody's struck that balance or even really come close. But if that balance is struck, I don't think the sort of stridency the EFF is engaging in here is going to be part of the solution.
