Facebook #MyNameIs Name Policy

#MyNameIs short film by the talented Kirthi Nath and Cinemagical Media - www.cinemagicalmedia.com

The #MyNameIs Campaign is a coalition of drag and other performers, transgender people, Native Americans, immigrants, domestic violence survivors, and our allies who advocate for the reformation of Facebook’s dangerous and discriminatory “real names” policy. In October 2014, the #MyNameIs Campaign received a public apology from Facebook and a commitment to allow all users to express their “authentic identities,” however we have yet to see substantive change in the company’s policies or procedures and are continuing to apply pressure.
