It's FB's right to shut down this rich company and all its income, as much as it's our right to keep using fake names and nicks.

It is utterly ridiculous in this day and age that they have this sort of policy. Shame on you facebook.

]]> Mon, 20 Jul 2015 10:30:32 UTC 19090468 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/19090097?utm_medium=rss Stop being controlling twits and let people use whatever name they feel like. Stop working with the government's and actually do something useful with your billions of $$$. How about donating to charity or actually provide electricity and educating for people in the third world countries. Or better yet. Get the homeless off the street and educate them on life skills to get themselves in order. Then those people and only those people should you impose that they use their real name because they will have owed you some courtesy. The rest of us however don't owe you anything. It's not your right to say what we call ourselves online or in real life.

No warning, just shut down and told what to do to be re-opened. This caused 4 things to happen. Firstly, worry to my close friends, secondly it caused a nasty group of people who have been bullying my girlfriend (and that I was keeping an eye in order to report their slanderous posts about her) to think that I'd suddenly blocked them and then started up hate posts about me, thirdly it temporarily deleted an event page, an event that was happening the next day and caused a lot of chasing around to ensure people that it was still going ahead and fourthly left me unable to access my business page on here. Disgracefully thing to do to one if their users. Not even a 24 hour notice period, just clised down instantly. Just because I had my stage name between my real name. Shame on you Facebook, sirt yourselves out. There's serious things like abusive and offensive images, hate pages and cypber bullying on here you should be concentrating on. Not whether someone decides to have a different name on there or not. It's not a legal document after all.

I do not agree with facebooks ridiculous rule. As a matter of personal safety it should be removed. And those who had their accounts wrongly deleted should receive and apology. It is wrong for any non government website to require any formal information or "proof". I'm not applying for foodstamps or school scholarship here... Im here for connection of family, friends. And clients.

There should be some rules like no swearwords in the name or stuff like that.

This smacks more of control and the desire to sell more stuff to a target audience on the part of Facebook than anything else. I notice you don't make Whoopie Goldberg use her real name (ie Caryn Johnson). Two faced? Or are some of us more equal than others?

You are putting them in the position to either remove themselves from your site to protect themselves or being found by people who seek them out to destroy them in every manner, verbally, physically, and can even find them to murder them! This needs to be an anonymous friendly site period or you will end up being on the end of a lawsuit for making it possible for someone to be murdered by an ex, soon to be ex, stalker, etc. by the family that has to deal with the death of a loved one. If we want people to "find us" we will know how to contact them and if we don't, then that is our concern. You can tell if you've reached the right person you want to connect with if they talk to you about issues or things only the two of you would know! Safety should be your top concern not whether or not "someone has reached the person they are looking for"! Sincerely, another person who was targeted by the name I associate myself with!
