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.

    Runaway! Brietbart! Foam bullets! Or Bulletproof foam, not sure which! My gawd, just run away! Facebook has a facial recognition of Runaway's 1911, with the safety off. It may be too late, I am telling you! Bug-out bags, head for the bunkers! Stay there until further SoylentNews Survivalist Alert "All Clear" message is sent. It could be a while. Months. Possibly years. Try not to eat your bunker mates.
