Social media giant Facebook drew ire from some users recently due to its strict real name policy. Some even fled for Ello -- madness!
Now, it looks like Facebook's responding to complaints with a mobile app "that allows users to interact inside of it without having to use their real names." That's according to two people speaking with The New York Times , anyway; the sources also said the app is set to launch "in the coming weeks."
Facebook's long held policies requiring verified email addresses, originally requiring college-specific email address logins per its collegiate origins. Those policies clashed recently with drag queens, some of whom had their profiles outright removed from Facebook (by algorithms). It's not clear how this app would affect wed-based Facebook use, if at all, and Facebook's not saying a peep thus far.
