It's time for @twitter to confirm a real name and real person behind every account, and for @facebook to to get far more stringent on the same. I don't care what the user name is. But there needs to be a single human behind every individual account.

There were some interesting comments from an evangelist from the EFF that mentioned that adopting real names increase the likelihood that women, gays, and trans people would face threats that anonymity helps them avoid.

I guess until society evolves to the point where we at least keep our hate to ourselves, no one can have nice things.
