Native American activist to sue Facebook over site's 'real name' policy

Dana Lone Hill to bring class action lawsuit against policy that has provoked ire from groups who want their identities protected online

A Native American activist plans to lead a class action lawsuit against Facebook over its "real name" policy, which has drawn the ire of drag queens, domestic abuse survivors and political activists across the globe.

The policy that once required users to use only their "real name" for their profiles came under renewed scrutiny last year after drag queens in San Francisco reported being locked out of their accounts. Facebook restored the accounts, amended its policy and apologized - but groups who want their identities protected online say the changes are not enough.
