Why is this an issue?
Premise : I personally am not comfortable sharing my real name online. FAS has a setting to allow me to hide this information. This is good.
Problem : Platforms using FAS do not respect this setting.
Why this is a problem : This means that I effectively can't contribute under terms that I feel comfortable with unless I lie about my name in FAS. If I lie about my name, the FPCA is probably not proper any more from a legal standpoint, I assume. So I am stuck with this.
Solution : Make platforms respect the FAS the setting either by making FAS provide the username as real name (easy) or implement a private name system in each and every one platform (hard)
I hope I presented this issue clearly enough. :heart:
I've opened an issue with the infrastructure team. I don't think there's any direct action the Council can take, but I appreciate you letting us know.
