After years of receiving complaints that its policies put users at risk, Google said today that it has eliminated the requirement that people use their real names on Google+. The real-name policy, which debuted with the launch of Google+ three years ago, was designed to create a network that looked like Facebook. But it also excluded a number of people who wanted to be part of it without using their real names, the company said today in an unsigned post on Google+. For this we apologize, and we hope that todays change is a step toward making Google+ the welcoming and inclusive place that we want it to be. The future of Google+ has been uncertain since Vic Gundotra abruptly stepped down and Sergey Brin openly lamented getting involved with it in the first place.
Google+ will stop forcing you to use your real name
