Quora’s Real Name Policy required users to register with their full names rather than an Internet pseudonym or other screen name; although name verification was not required, false names could be reported by the community. This was done ostensibly to boost the credibility of answers.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on Monday that he hopes his harshest critics will remain on Twitter, amid reports that the company’s board has decided to accept his $46.5 billion takeover bid. “I hope that even my harshest critics continue to follow me on Twitter, because that is what free speech entails,” he tweeted.
In just a few hours, the tweet received over 1 million likes and nearly 200,000 retweets.
