PJ, your argument for allowing anonymity is good. But you end by saying Google
hasn't done enough without suggesting anything concrete you would like to see
Google do.
You have a high enough profile, and I'm sure enough Google engineers read
Groklaw, so that anything you suggest will at a minimum start an internal
conversation in engineering at Google. It might even make a change.
So if you are going to stand on your soap box, please take the opportunity to
add some concrete ideas that Google could use. I suspect you have them.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Twice this year I have been strong-armed after logging in to my
YouTube account. The idea was that I should replace my Youtube
user ID with my gmail ID. This is part of the single logon service
they are implementing. Saying "No" was not easy. Another two
pages to click thru that No I did not want to do that, and
Yes I knew what I was doing. Admittedly neither of those IDs
was my real name, so Cerf is right, but the message is clear
that Google don't want no Jekyll'n'Hyde on their network.
