Facebook had their Real Names policy since the beginning. Google had it but later apologized: https://slate.com/technology/2014/07/google-plus-finally-ditches-its-ineffective-dangerous-real-name-policy.html https://slate.com/technology/2014/07/google-plus-finally-dit... I remember when Facebook was a private network until they saw Twitter was getting the numbers with public tweets. And they made posts public by default. Now they are copying Twitter again! And btw. This isn't actually very meta at all! But seriously... I know why they all need to do this now. And it has to with the coming botpocalypse. Soon your identity will be tied to your reputation. Which is fine and everything, except it will be on CENTRALIZED BIG TECH SITES. Enjoy your social credit score, plebs!
