Zuckerberg announced Friday that the company will "require people who manage large pages to be verified," meaning they will have to provide the company, and by extension the US government, with their real names and locations.

[...] Zuckerberg added that the move would involve the hiring of thousands of additional censors and "security" personnel. "In order to require verification for all of these pages and advertisers, we will hire thousands of more people," he wrote.

  Zuck pissed off--and he releases all this info, like a giant Wikileaks dump.

  Why throw all the toys out of the pram, when there's so much more to be gained by threatening to throw the toys out of the pram?

  So you think Zuck is only pretending to be impulsive and childish?
