I'd like to see a breakdown of the benefits next to the costs. As it stands, the article you link here is a judgement seeking non-anecdotal data.

- jazzyjackson 7y agoWhat are the benefits of a real name policy? It's easy to create bot accounts that have believable names, and a whatever vetting process put in place may just be a false sense of security that you're interacting with who they say they are. It certainly doesn't make anyone less of an jerk. Plenty of racists sexists etc on facebook arguing with everyone else in the world. How does is prevent impersonating someone not on the platform? Twitter is notoriously bad at this... you can just call yourself whatever you want as long as your target isn't a user of the platform and takes notice...
- hk__2 7y agoAdditionally, splitting in "first" and "last" name is a terrible idea for a service that aims to be international. Not all names can be split as "first" and "last". Some people have two "last" names. Some languages (e.g. Hungarian) put the family name before the given name. https://uxmovement.com/forms/why-your-form-only-needs-one-name-field/ https://uxmovement.com/forms/why-your-form-only-needs-one-na...
