Facebook, comes the chat for privacy: an app will guarantee the anonymity – The Messenger

After the back on the obligation to use the name, challenged by the LGBT community Use and gave impetus to the social media alternative “Ello,” Facebook does reverse “U” and working on a ‘app to communicate anonymously.

According to the New York Times the company Mark Zuckerberg will soon launch the app that will allow you to talk without self-censorship on various topics. The project would begin after the purchase of start-up Branch, formed to create small discussion groups.

According to the New York newspaper, citing unnamed sources, the application for smartphones and tablets will come in the coming weeks, after a job that lasted a year and captained by Josh Miller, a “product manager” who has joined the Facebook team after the acquisition of Branch, in January.

Before Facebook, on Branch had his eye even Twitter. The application users should be able to use more than one alias, in order to express their opinion on various topics freely, without having to reveal their identity.

The news comes in the anonymous chat a few weeks away from the protest of the LGBT community, in opposition to the Facebook account of suspension of some drag queen “guilty” of having used their name. The “Legal name policy” adopted by the social network had given impetus to a new social network, Ello, allowing the use of pseudonyms.

Facebook then had apologized to the LGBT community. “The spirit of our policy is to allow users to use the name they use in real life, not the legal one,” said the chief product officer Chris Cox.
