Did you have your first and last name in your profile? In my case independentidentity has not been touched. I guess because I have a name in addition to my avatar. Phil On 2011-08-01, at 10:14, Kaliya <kaliya@mac.com> wrote:
NSTIC "says" it is about maintaining privacy and freedom of speach we have today on the internet while enabling "when you want to" the ability to use a verified account...but I don't have a good feeling about this.
Over the last week in preparation for the "official" door opening of Google+ they have been sweeping it clear of personas and avatars.
Yesterday I myself was included in the sweep post here: http://www.identitywoman.net/googlereal-name-identity-woman
I had been working on a post I will publish this week about NSTIC being part of the push for so called "real names" in Google+ (and apparently you can't get a google e-mail address without one either).
I am curious what others think is there a link? and are you having your accounts suspended?
I am all for "Accountability" that is different then the sort of mantra around "trusted identities" that the only ones worth trusting for anything must be "real".
