Title:
Facebook under fire from drag queens over ‘real name’ rule
This
article is about an issue with Facebook amongst the drag queen community, where
they need to use their real names in order to create a Facebook account instead
of using their alias. This article skims the controversy of how harmful it may
be to victims of abuse or activists. The arguments on the other side are
portrayed effectively through a comment from Olivia La Grace a Seattle-based performer
who states “we are not businesses selling products...”
In my
opinion, this article brings up the major issue of privacy online and whether
we actually have it or are we being monitored 24/7. Also, the reasons on both
sides have been justified, Facebook has to keep its users safe so they need
them to provide real names and the drag queens are justified as they want to
keep their private and professional life separate, so that they are not abused
or anything online.
