著名小说家的 Facebook 账号风波
英籍印度小說家賽爾曼魯西迪(Salman Rushdie)也許是本世代最出名（有些人可能會說是惡名昭彰）的作家之一。這位寫出《魔鬼詩篇》的作者曾在數個伊斯蘭國家被強烈撻伐，伊朗精神領袖霍梅尼甚至對他下達追殺令。他不僅是小說界的巨星，也享受巨星般的生活─他的前妻是名模主持人 Padma Lakshmi，最近與高挑女星 Pia Glenn 過從甚密。顯然因為文學成就而封爵或在U2演唱舞台當嘉賓，並不代表他可以違反 Facebook 的使用真名條款；最近該社群網站停用了他的帳號，並要求他用護照上的名字 Ahmed Rushdie 重新註冊。 在網路上求民主只會引來逮捕、刑求和謀殺 Facebook 對魯西迪提出他從未公開使用本名Ahmed的抗議置若罔聞，因為根據 Facebook 的使用者條款，使用者只能用政府核准身分證明上的名字申請帳號。此條款和競爭對手 Google+ 的類似規範在網路上掀起強大的反對聲浪。NGO 人權組織「自由之家」列出的鎮壓型國家高達四十二個。在泰國，即使在網路上對皇室最輕微的批評，都可能遭致最多十五年的刑期。無數部落客指出，任何參與類似「阿拉伯之春」運動的人，都將自己和家人置入險境。光是敘利亞反抗行動就有三千五百人因參與而喪命，在網路上用真正、可追蹤的姓名表達對自由和民主的追求，顯然是將自己暴露在遭逮捕、刑求和謀殺的危險之中。...
