A relative of a friend of mine uses a pseudonym to escape harassment they suffered due to being gay. They're Facebook friend of their parents, their sibs, and other relatives.
- zo1 11y agoHow does that work exactly? They were already harassed, so the harassers already knew their real name, I take it? How would abolishing the real-names policy help them in this scenario? Genuinely confused. Edit. Word missing.

- Jare 11y ago> the harassers already knew their real name, I take it? How would abolishing the real-names policy help Without the policy they don't have to use their real name, which means harassers can't find them (as easily) on Facebook. The ability to use a real name that is not your actual name is just a clunky workaround for the policy, not a proof that the policy works.
