Facebook Can Keep Real Name Policy, German Court Rules

Posted by timothy on from the papers-bitte dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Facebook can stick with its real name policy in Germany, and doesn't have to allow nicknames on its platform for now. The regulator that ordered Facebook to change its policy based its orders on inapplicable German law, a German court ruled."

    I've met some extremely high functioning autistics before. I've also met autistics who do not have violent outbursts.

    It is rare however to see a high functioning autistic to write a well structured and empathetic passage like that without editing it for several hours. Given you wrote that passage in under an hour, clearly you were misdiagnosed.
