Randi Zuckerberg, Facebook’s marketing director, has a fix for cyberbullying: stop people from doing anything online without their names attached.

“I think anonymity on the Internet has to go away,” she said during a panel discussion on social media hosted Tuesday evening by Marie Claire magazine. “People behave a lot better when they have their real names down. I think people hide behind anonymity and they feel like they can say whatever they want behind closed doors.”

Because they want to know who says what and go after people for spouting nonsense. Where am I supposed to go for comedy? TV is shite.

How Your Facebook Can Get You Kicked Off a Flight

Article by Ryan Tate

Israel blocked around 200 pro-Palestinian activists from boarding European flights to the country, aided by Facebook. It’s hard to pretend to be a tourist in the era of social networking.

Many activists never even made it to the airport, the AP reports, because airlines called them at home to say Israeli authorities had blacklisted them. Others were turned away at check-in counters. Some activists tried to pose as tourists—”I said I was coming to visit. That was it,” one told the newswire—but Israeli security monitors activists activity on Facebook closely, and compiled a list with 300 names on it, which it circulated to its embassies and in turn to airlines.

The lesson: Do your online activism under an assumed name. Perhaps of someone you yourself would like to prevent from going to Israel.

Lol, Israel is pathetic. Cowards. They’re doing anything they can do to block harmless, unarmed activists from entering “Israel.” Haha.

…and you expect otherwise? It’s completely logical for Israel to do this. Hence Israel must be destroyed.
