Our insurance policy has never been to necessitate everyone on Facebook to habituate their effectual name . The spirit of our insurance is that everyone on Facebook apply the authentic name they habituate in real life . For Sister Roma , that ’s Sister Roma . For Lil Miss Hot Mess , that ’s Lil Miss Hot Mess . Part of what ’s been so hard about this conversation is that we brook both of these someone , and so many others dissemble by this , entirely and perfectly in how they utilize Facebook .
Still the company has n’t backed down from its real name insurance , though it let in that there needs to be a mechanics for appraise marginal cases . The contentedness of what this mythological location might be is n’t clear yet , so we ’ll reserve judgement until we see some campaign . [ Facebook ]
