https://act.eff.org/action/dear-facebook-authentic-names-are-authentically-dangerous-for-your-usersSIGN PETITION TO FIX AUTHENTIC NAME POLICY
I have no problem requiring that you register your account with a real name, as long as its not visible to other users, and Facebook provides the ability to use an alias, and that aliases are ‘flagged’ as aliases. (not that most of us need such things).
But requiring people to use real names in public opens non-conformists to violence, harassment, intimidation and employment persecution and bias.
And so I am against the real name policy and in favor of the ‘nickname’ policy.
I use my real name everywhere. But I am successful and independent; I live free of western government oppression; and my arguments are also scientific. And scientific arguments are very different from ideological arguments, and gossip (criticism).
So I suggest you sign this on behalf of the people who are victims of the less savory elements of our society. (the left)
