      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.

      It wasn't there, clearly. I tried and nope it wasn't there.

      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

      Yes, and SPJ rules of ethics make it clear that's a major factor. He seeks influence and, in my experience, has achieved so with specific choices and alignment with some questionable corners of the web.https://twitter.com/Chronotope/status/1275477380895825927 …

      He helps run a reddit specifically for fans of him. Did he *seek* it initially? Perhaps not. Did he actively cultivate it, interact w/it, make strategic decisions about how to moderate his audience? Did he write w/awareness of his impact and used it to persuade? I think so.

      Ah come on, there are actual questionable corners of the world. And by all accounts, the piece was supposed to be a nice one, not "oh, look, big danger to society". If NYT was justified in denying pen name to everyone who seeks influence, a lot of its opeds would never run.

      Maybe but they often don't even out pen names as pen names. So it's not just Bansky (but surely he seeks influence too?) I know other pen names where the writer is not that careful, but still got to keep pen name in NYT. So it makes this exception particularly egregious.

          To be clear, we have no idea if it is a nice article or not beyond what he himself has said. And there is also a question of direct influence and how it works. Banksy clearly has and seeks influence, but it isn't generated through direct interaction the way it is on this blog...

          And the question of the scale of that influence and how it is used should seriously be considered. The L*ss Wr*ong movement of which the blog is a major part has some powerful adherents who are pushing major changes on our culture...
