YouTube Pushing Users To Use Real Names?


Could you imagine if everyone was forced to use their real names on YouTube? It's hard to see anything like this working, it's not like trolls will voluntarily start using their full names on YouTube.
YouTube is making it harder for users who post negative and hurtful comments on videos to hide behind the site’s anonymity. The video-sharing site is urging users to start using their full name when commenting and uploading clips. Instead of displaying a pen name linked to the YouTube account, the company wants to link to the user’s full name and picture used on their Google+ account.
