Many Facebook users don’t like the loss of privacy.
Facebook attracts more than a billion people from around the world, and it demands everyone uses their real name.
There are times when using an alias, a pseudonym, or a “fake name” makes more sense.
After all, you never know when your ex will come stalking you on Facebook.
A court order in Germany, is about to change Facebook’s demands to provide identification; the social network can no longer change a user’s chosen username to their real names, or ask for an official ID.
The decision came after a German woman from Hamburg had her account blocked for using a pseudonym, to avoid being contacted through it for business matters.
The court stated that forcing Facebook users to use real names violates their privacy rights.
