As if we weren't getting privacy invaded and Big Brothered enough, Youtube now wants you to use your real name when commenting on a video. This is supposed to be a way of discouraging people from trolling, I guess, but I hope they don't make it mandatory because it would have a lot of risky ramifications. Not only would it make it easier for people to find and stalk someone, but it would make it possible for employers or anyone else to find out all kinds of personal stuff about you. This would lead to people being severely restricted in what they can discuss online. Would you use your real name online? I sure wouldn't!
