It's not inalienable in the sense that there are cases where it's justified and I cannot for the life of me concoct a justification for a random blogger who is also a doctor and has a very legitimate reason for his real name not pointing to the blog via NYT.

Also, I don't really think Banksy is an apt comparison. I agree that NYT amplifying it is a different thing then it being vaguely out there, but I don't think that it is an unjustifiable decision, it is hard to tell without the content of the articlehttps://twitter.com/Chronotope/status/1275449180295581698 …

Blog to real name is very very very different Google to real name via NYT. One is your existing fan base can find your name. The other is all your future patients *start* with your blog. I cannot understand why NYT gets to make that call with zero justification.

Yes, that is a recent thing if his real name immediately points to his blog. It still doesn't for me, and I immediately checked after the brouhaha and it did not. I lived with a same name person threat for years, page one versus page two, even is everything.

To put it this way, even if his real name googling eventually led to his blog, taking it from page two to page one would make a huge difference in his life. It's not something any newspaper should do to anyone without significant, substantive and transparent justification

I'm going to disagree. A pen name needs a high bar for being violated and I see nothing that remotely justifies this. NYT regularly respects pen names (Some that aren't even known as pen names that NYT respects and doesn't even out as pen names). Why this? No sense.

Either way... There needs to be a high bar, and I don't see how it is met here.
