I never had 'real' social media account, and never had 'immoral' intentions. I find it interesting phenomena how easily people switched from pseudonymes on the internet to using their real names, and now think there is something wrong by not providing real data.

Same here. Perhaps the only “real” social media account I have is Linkedin, but it’s private and only used for jobs.

Yeah, and it's pseudonyme, not 'real', I thought that's what author of the post was reffering to
