You guys use your real name?

  The issue is that they can add your name without consulting you. The user mentioned in the article, Monica, took her name from a support email she sent for something and added it to her profile without asking - then they didn’t give her any way to remove it. The article also mentions that they can add data they collect from third parties, so it’s overall pretty sketch.

    Well, That is awful to hear. I use an email address that is not connected with me in any other way for sites like that. I don't use my real name. I don't use that email address for anything connected to me. I assumed this was sort of standard practice for tech minded people.
