A petition about protecting pseudonymity... and a full name is required to sign it.
- gambiting 6y agoYeah I don't really understand. Is this like....satire? A joke about something that happened before?
- OscarCunningham 6y agoIt's not analogous because signing this doesn't link your real name to any other names you might use.
- IHLayman 6y agoI am under the impression that they expect a real name. In fact, they give a section to allow further proof in case you are someone famous, so that someone isn't trying to impersonate you: "Let us know it's actually you? (Optional) For high-profile signees (CEOs, authors, people with 100k+ twitter followers, etc), we'd like to make sure nobody is impersonating you. Feel free to give us an official email address to confirm (we will not use it for any purpose beyond validation and will not share it with anyone), or link to a public post/tweet where you say you signed this petition."
- OscarCunningham 6y agoSure. My point is that signing this with your real name doesn't thereby deanonimize anything else. People will be able to associate your real name with the petition, but nothing else.
