I've been following a story on twitter and wondered if anyone knew the background - and in particular, whether it's true!
The story suggests that Facebook is experimenting with asking people to confirm whether their friends are who they say they are: here's a tweet about it. https://mobile.twitter.com/chapeaudefee/status/248599349481836544?photo=1 The implications are obvious - but quite important. Facebook has had a 'real names' policy for a while, but they haven't to my knowledge been using this kind of way of verifying/enforcing it before. A German online magazine has suggested it's being trialled - I wondered if anyone had any information or confirmation that it's been happening, or that my reading of t is correct? Help would be much appreciated Paul Bernal Sent from my iPhone -- Unsubscribe, change to digest, or change password at: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech
