Internet trolls are even more hostile when they’re using their real names, a study finds

"Among the gatekeepers of comment sections and social media sites, the
conventional wisdom is that anonymity empowers bullies to voice hateful
opinions without consequence. When unmasked by real-name policies, the theory
goes, these trolls will slink back to their caves, taking the vitriol from
Twitter, Facebook and other social media with them."

If only Facebook (and a few other sites) would finally learn this lesson.  Via
