1. It’s very strange for someone to both claim that they never use Twitter and also claim “abuse” is an overblown excuse. Twitter is currently the model platform for large scale mob justice and harassment. 2. The “real name” policy is effective on Facebook for the type of abuse Twitter is trying to curtail. It would help if you explain why you feel the real name policy is ineffective. In any case, only Facebook (the product) actively enforces a real name policy.


Facebook is a dying platform, but I would love to understand why you believe it was an effective policy.

It is not really enforced either, I know several people that have multiple accounts under fake names on Facebook


Not having an account is not the same thing as not using Twitter, you can read tweets without an account
