I have an account I do not use on Facebook with a completely made up name from a MMORPG I used to play and they have never said a thing to me about it. I can't believe they want to harass Native Americans about their names.

The issue is more that these "real name" policies tend to indirectly target groups rarely encountered by the sort of people who work at social network companies. If you don't have any trans, Native American, or [insert group that often changes names/has uncommon names] friends, you might not see a need to use caution in applying these policies.

  One could even say that it reeks of hubris to believe a largely homogenous group of people is fit to police the values and customs of the entire world.

If you RTFA, it isn't even Facebook harassing NA users. It sounds like this sort of review is triggered by a complaint, so it's really unidentified people using FB's shitty process to harass minorities.
