My takeaway focuses on Facebook and other “real name” social networks’ being the wrong platforms for posting dissenting opinions. If you want to post radical* content, any tool which makes it easy to connect said content back to your real i

Cue the beginning of the end. This is a strategic, not tactical decision, and one I wasn’t expecting Facebook to make anytime soon...unless they are in worse shape than even the naysayers suggest.
