I will just politely say that we have slightly different opinions on that subject 'Motion'.
Speaking of using anonymous usernames:

"The use of real names online could help curb bullying and harassment on the web," she told the audience. "I think anonymity on the Internet has to go away. 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."
(read that last sentence again...wow...yeah there goes 1A and 4A. No more private conversations? Really?)
And that was coming from a person who complains about her own company, lol:

"Randi Zuckerberg, who's also the older sister to Mark Zuckerberg, is among the many people who don't understand Facebook's privacy policies, as she got upset at someone for tweeting a photo that she thought she had shared in a more limited way than she really had."
I could go on and on about FB privacy issues but who cares.
A lot of people don't mind being part of their psy-ops program and having their profile handed around. Good for them.
Oh, you don't think FB runs tests on it's users? Yes, they do. If we change "this" how many people will react and comment? How about with "that"? What is your personality type? Income? Interests? What's your commitment (financially of course) to your interests and can you be switched easily? Who are your friends and what are their profiles? Inquiring minds want to know.
The potentials with any captive rat population are limitless.
Heck even your vacuum cleaner want to listen in on your conversations and share your abode online:
