Facebook wants you to snitch on your friends not using their real names
http://j.mp/PvI0I7 (Paul Bernal's Blog)
"A story about Facebook went around twitter last night that provoked
quite a reaction in privacy advocates like me: Facebook, it seems, is
experimenting with getting people to 'snitch' on any of their friends
who don't use their real names." - Paul Bernal

Facebook appears to claim that such snitching "won't affect your friends' accounts"
(now? later?) ... perhaps suggesting it's "only" for data analysis purposes.
Maybe so, but it's still seriously creepy, Zuck.
