Facebook, a concept based on real names and identities, will implement a service that encourages anonymity. Of course, is not about any users, but of celebrities who will have protected accounts and will avoid hacker attacks.

  Facebook prepares several changes to ensure that the identity of significant persons is protected. Social network has in working a system for celebrities identity verification, called "Verified Accounts". Option will allow VIPs to use pseudonyms, show TechCrunch.

  If celebrities want this then they can add into account the pseudonym stage. They can choose to publish a nickname or a pseudonym really ordinary, instead of true name or date of birth.

  Facebook will choose users who can verify their identity based on loading a copy of an official identity document, through "Verified Accounts", and audited accounts will get a priority place in recommendations "People To Subscribe To".

  So far, those who wanted to be displayed a nickname on their page, had to change their name in the account page.

  Facebook programmers have anticipated that some users may wish to take advantage of the service, although they are not celebrities or public figures.

  For this reason, there is no way that you can provide "volunteer" to be checked, because the system automatically selects the celebrities after birth date and of an original document.

  Unlike Twitter or Google+'s verification programs, verified Facebook accounts won't show any sort of badge or denotation that they're approved, though, which could lessen the program's ability to guide users. This new system shouldn't be confused with the verified developer program or secondary email verification.

  Facebook has introduced three months ago, a new possibility to track public updates of people you're not a friend. Not have been reports spam, but the introduction of new application allow users whose name coincides with a celebrity not to be uncomfortable with the fans.
