Sign up for any social media platform and you'll go through the same process – hand over your name, email, and other personal details, and then start building your profile. It's second nature. However, given how valuable (and dangerous) this information can be in the hands of a cybercriminal, should we be punching our real names into every site we use?
Okay, so you might wonder what you'd use instead – and pseudonyms are a more privacy-friendly alternative. Using a fake name might sound sketchy (and Meta certainly doesn’t appreciate it), but it's a useful way to limit the amount of your identifiable information on the web.
