Disappointing to see a co-founder of Wired pushing the "real names fix things" meme. We had that discussion with G+ how many years ago? It did nothing but generate negative press for Google until they quietly half-buried it long after it was possible to salvage any goodwill from doing so. Facebook actually has a real-names policy, but they enforce it very spottily, and there's a reason why. The only truly workable real-name policy is the jwz one: "1. Stop deleting peoples' accounts when you suspect that the name they are using is not their legal name. 2. There is no step 2."
