"Pretending to be anything or anyone isn't allowed"
-- from What names are allowed on Facebook?

Also, includes: "The name you use should be your real name as it would be listed on your credit card, driver's license or student ID"

In response, let us quote some Derrida, and some Bob Dylan:

"It is therefore a certain closing off---the saturating or suturing---of identity to self, and a structure still too narrowly fit to self-identification, that today gives the concept of subject its dogmatic effect." -- Derrida, "'Eating Well,' or the Calculation of the Subject," p. 273.

"I'm only Bob Dylan when I have to be Bob Dylan, most of the time I can just be myself." -- Dylan, Press Conference, 1986, Brett Whiteley Studio, Sydney
