Real names policies don't result in friendlier communities. In places where I've seen people use both pseudonyms and real names, they are sometimes much worse behaved where they are using real names. Facebook groups are full of people using real names who are behaving very badly. Companies can't tell users, "we're forcing you to use your real names so we can conspire with other companies to track you wherever you go against your knowledge", so they say it's to encourage better behavior.
