if we're still throwing poo poo at subjunctive, i'd have to go google for it but you know there are people who literally do nothing but go through facebook and report trans peoples names as violations of real name policy

if you're gonna go with "well they violated the tos when they signed up", isn't harassment also against the tos?

We are the final authority on what our names are. Facebook has set itself up as a gatekeeper to determine our realness. It has set its policy without any real understanding or analysis of how names work, and it’s no surprise that there are a thousand edge cases. It’s also no surprise that users understand that reporting a name will get their friends kicked off, and so use it against people they’d like removed and not people on their friends list going by “Captain Pants”.

I should not have to “show” Facebook what my “real name” is. All that is necessary is to tell them.

subjunctive, you are an exceedingly chill and appreciated dude

that said

the only entities who defend this policy seems to be FB and people with weak and selifsh reasons for demanding people use their real names without having to jump through regulatory hoops

there's a lot of good in allowing people to choose how they are identified on a social network as integral to the social world as facebook and i dont think the entitled response of "well you agreed to our tos and theres plenty of other networks u can use!!" is helpful to the debate. appealing to the tos isn't a strong defense against the ethical dilemma of the tos itself. people have good reason to not want to jump through hoops to avoid harassment or as a side effect of anonymous shitheads who don't agree with your new gender identity etc.

my proposal to encourage discussion instead of raw bitter analysis:

+ allow people to use whatever name they please under the following condition:
- disallow abusive names or names-as-statements. likely this is too subjective to be enforced reasonably but things like ie: changing my name to "vote ron paul" or "faggotlord", the name needs to be a functioning natural alias like "Hank Johnson" and not "HackTheGibson 420"

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

Subjunctive posted:

nobody gets hosed over by the policy if they obey the policy they agreed to when they signed up, and which is part of the registration flow. some people get away with violating the policy because their violations are invisible.

if you want to live under another name than your legal one, that's fine, but in that case why don't you have some other artifact that says you actually use that name? doesn't have to be a driver's license, it can literally be a magazine subscription. the policy is not intended to let people use a different name just for Facebook, but that's not a "let me use my preferred name" situation.

perhaps you should acknowledge that it's partly your own privilege that prevents you from seeing how this policy (and its enforcement) harms people

maybe you want to keep your identities separate because you're involved under an assumed name in one community and want to keep in contact with people there, but you want your close friends, family, the DMV, your bank, etc. to use your legal name.

people in roller derby have this problem a lot, they use their derby name because there are crazy fans and skaters alike out there. (I know someone who has had multiple stalkers, with restraining orders to match, and not all were fans.) but that doesn't mean they change their legal name, have magazines sent to their derby name, etc.

"adult" performers have this problem on a much larger scale.

maybe Facebook should try to be more inclusive.

also, your comments about gamergate are pretty bad: there was a woman in the last week who was facing wide scale harassment on Facebook for having an opinion, reporting the harassment, and being told repeatedly it didn't violate Facebook's community guidelines. then her account was suspended for violating community standards for showing screen shots of the harassment she received!

Subjunctive, you need to take a step back and really look at some of the behavior of the organization before you defend it instead of trying to help it do better.

1. Using a "stage name" to promote your roller derby or your burgeoning career as a sex worker/twitch streamer is contrary to the stated purpose of Facebook and not typical by any means. I don't see a substantial difference between that and Mr. Ron Paul2016. Get a business account for that kind of crap.

2. Not to get all victim-blamey, buuuuuut using a public social network account with personally identifiable information is opening yourself up to stalking regardless of whether you're using your "real name" or not (see: Aatrek).

3. A Facebook account isn't an inalienable right. People get along just fine without them. Facebook has decided, for a variety of very good published reasons (and probably a lot more that have to do with targeted ads), that people shouldn't be able to shitpost on their website anonymously. So what?
