Facebook Is Asking Users If Their Friends Are Using Their Real Names

Facebook doesn’t allow users to use fake names. Sure, people use them all the time, but technically, it’s against Facebook’s terms, and the company appears to have a new strategy in going after those who are in violation (or at least getting a better handle on how much it’s actually going on).
Facebook has been sending out survey questions to people asking whether or not their friends are who they say they are.
“Please help us understand how people are using Facebook,” Facebook says in a dialogue box. “Your response is anonymous and won’t affect your friends’s account. Is this your friend’s real name?”
A Twitter user tweeted out the following screenshot, which was picked up by Talking Points Memo (via TNW):
