As a private company, Facebook is free to set any standards they want but I guarantee that if FB imposes some kind of identification process to create an account they will lose to a social network that does not have such a requirement.
Moreover, if she is calling for any kind of government-imposed internet-wide standard she should be vociferously denounce. The whole internet "bullying" is a red-herring and the real problem is that people's feelings get hurt when on the internet. Well too bad, no one has the right not to be insulted or denounced by people who disagree or even hate you and your ideas. It does happen that misbehavior crosses the line into harassment, stalking, etc. and there are plenty of laws already on the books to deal with it though granted that law enforcement is still catching up with the internet. I think that on net, in a free society, that anonymous profiles is a good thing. Just ignore the trolls and morons -- how hard is that? The last thing we need is to create is government regulated internet driver's licenses.
