I don’t really get this FB rule. I know a lot of folks using fake names on FB for various reasons. How is it suddenly an issue for one group?

And how does FB know they are fake names?
They could have had legal name changes..............

Most of my friends’ fake names are pretty obvious, lots of nouns and silliness. But yeah, how do they know these are fake? And why should they care?

For Facebook, the real names policy is not just meant to keep people accountable.

Correct. It is also about assisting the NSA and CIA to track and monitor people.

That’s one of many reasons I don’t Facebook; don’t need my house firebombed or my car vandalized by the looney left.

Do drag queens really have a constitutional right to use their stage names on Facebook???

Facebook, like Free Republic, is privately owned and may set its own rules.

I wonder what the over/under would be for that march on the number of broken heels?

Do we really have to say it? I guess I will say it. Is it really a legitimate function of government, to get involved in how a company such as Facebook manages its business? Do we really need the SF County Board of Supervisors involved with drag queens who want to use fake names on an internet site such as Facebook??? Do drag queens really have a constitutional right to use their stage names on Facebook???

The government (and corporate) push is for anti-anonimity laws that would REQUIRE you to use your real name whether you are showing your latest lunch on Facebook, responding to an article on Yahoo.com, or posting political commentary on FR.

The homofascists and DNC brownshirts would have a field day saving peoples' personal lives with their enemies list.
