34. People should not lie about media they dislike to turn people against it.

35. In some cases requiring a real name to use social media - "real" here meaning the name you use, not a legal name necessarily - would be helpful in a number of regards. Facebook isn't toxic because of that but for other reasons

I'm of two minds on this: I think anonymity is a super important tool for marginalized folks online. But it's also frequently abused by terrible people who want to be terrible with no consequences.

This is a delicate topic because the people who feel they've been harmed by FB-style wallet name policies (especially trans people) dominate the conversation on here and I think that, on the balance of the argument, they have the stronger claim

But the idea that the opposing argument is all bad faith and bullshit just doesn't seem true to me and I've heard compelling anecdotes to the contrary Thanks unfortunately to the fact that the legal system is the only backstop we have to social media moderation for bad actors

And people are generally untouchable by the legal system unless "doxed"

Like there's cases where someone was only able to get their ex to stop stalking them on FB by using FB's real-name policy to prove the account they were using to do it was their alt and they were violating a restraining order

And, for the record, I believe people when they say they've run up against a wall here because FB's moderation team is low-quality and will do stuff like go "Just show me your driver's license" But FB's official rule is *not* "legal name" or "tax name" or whatever

The "real name" policy is the (admittedly vaguely defined) policy that this has to be the name you "generally use" outside of Facebook itself (Which is also the old-school British common law on it -- a name becomes yours through simple "open and notorious use")

I mean that obviously is still bad for people who explicitly use FB for the purpose of anonymity/pseudonymity, and a lot of closeted trans/queer people etc. find that oppressive, and that's fair

But it's *not* the rule that "you have to go to court and get a name change or you'll be deadnamed"

Right. My counterpoint is the endless armies of anon trolls silencing LGBT people on here is also unfair
