Isn’t that what Facebook is supposed to provide? From anecdotal evidence, people are happy to engage in vitriol online that they would never do face to face, real name or not.

1) No, Facebook does not confirm people’s real names
2) This isn’t a solution to vitriol, it’s a solution to inorganic amplification
Heck I’ve seen some nastiness on LinkedIn with people’s government name and employer right next to it.
Real names don’t do much to prevent online assholery.
