Facebook Stops Asking Users To 'Snitch' On Friends With Fake Names

Facebook Stops Asking Users To 'Snitch' On Friends With Fake Names: Like the bar Cheers of television fame, Facebook wants to be a place where everybody knows your name. Your real name. Not your nickname. Not a fake name you've created to protect your privacy. Not your Wiccan name. Your real name. It spells this out in its terms and conditions, has said repeatedly that it wants a "real identity" culture on its site, has kicked users off for using fake names, and has tried to force at least one prominent user -- Salman Rushdie -- to go by the name on his passport on the site.
