Re: Why is it...

[(Anonymous)]

Because major websites adapted that way. Ten years ago we weren't supposed to put anything personal online, because bad people would stalk us and murder us. Everyone used usernames, your real name was really only for a professional e-mail. Maybe Facebook really was what changed things, where suddenly you were required to use your real info. And in a circle of just your classmates, it's no big deal, but it kept expanding. And other websites followed suit. Ugh, when Youtube started requiring names, too... (I actually never changed it out of protest, so I can't comment on anything anymore, which is probably good for me anyway)

Anyway, false usernames have gone out of style. More and more people use the internet, too.

YouTube requiring names really bothered me. I use my fake email address. Blogger also does now. I kind of understand YT's rationale since people were going OTT with mean comments, but then people just use them under their real names. Or use fake emails like I do.

I think using real names can cut down on peope being awful to some extent.

Facebook is evil, though.

It's funny, it almost seems like it was designed for university stalkers?

I literally have a made-up name that I use for Google+ and YouTube. What, no, Googles, I totally live in a different time zone than you would derive from my computer's clock settings and whatever ISP metadata you're using to figure me out!

(Maybe I shouldn't be using Google Chrome to post this.)

Re: Why is it...

I'm wondering now what would happen if you made an account under a name like Tim R. Mortiss or Valancy Stirling?

The nice thing about Chrome is that you can add free extensions to mitigate this somewhat. I use AdBlock and Disconnect and find that they work wonders, but here's a link for those and others, if you want to combine to reinforce your efforts at privacy: http://lifehacker.com/the-best-browser-extensions-that-protect-your-privacy-479408034
