> You don't think it cheapens the world 'evil' to be using it like that?
Google has used the world "evil" a lot, internally and externally, for years. Of course it isn't demonic or something, but it at least used to have meaning to that company in that they would never do things that they considered "evil" by their own standards.
I don't think forcing real names only is "evil," but it can lead towards some evil things.
Who has access to our information and communications is going to be a looming issue for a while. It was probably silly for us to think Google would act differently.
