Another shitty aspect of the real names policy is that it presents the illusion of people being realer than in other online settings. Social media is great for what it is, which is not trustworthy masses made of unique opinion-havers. It’s not a problem that there are massive amounts of fake accounts, sock-puppets and the like (I mean, yea, do what you can) the problem arises when we are lulled into thinking it’s not, and start trusting it’s mobs.
