Isn't Facebook requiring real names too?
- taneq 8y agoIronically yeah, Facebook tried the real-names thing on a while after G+ did it but I think at that point G+ had lost momentum and everyone had shifted back to Facebook, so network effects stopped it from going anywhere. I thought they'd also backtracked from that due to the obvious privacy-related corner cases (closeted drag queens being outed, peoples' locations being revealed to estranged abusive exes, that sort of thing) but I haven't looked into it in a long while.
- skarz 8y agoTheir policies are contradicting. On one page it states that you should use the name that you guy by in real life. On another page it says you may be required to show proof of that being your name. https://www.facebook.com/help/229715077154790 https://www.facebook.com/help/229715077154790 https://www.facebook.com/help/159096464162185 https://www.facebook.com/help/159096464162185
