In November 2010, a young man created a Quora account. A few weeks later, his account was blocked. Why? Because he had to use a real first and last name and his real name is "Hasan Hasan." After all, unless you're Cher or Sirhan Sirhan, nobody has the same first and last name. After a bit of back and forth, the jack-booted Quora admin in charge of the names division requested that poor H. Hasan supply a "scan of a government ID" in order to prove that he wasn't a troll. That's where H.H. left it, writing: The effort to dig up a government ID, redact non-name info, and track down a scanner is a significant barrier to sign-up but nonetheless it would not be an unreasonable request if you required this from all your users otherwise this seems nothing more than ignorant and flawed discrimination.
