After last week's introduction of its face blurring tool on YouTube, Google has pulled off a pretty surprising move today. According to reports online, when users comment on YouTube now, they'll be asked to start using their full name on YouTube. The service will checked for a linked Google+ account and encourage users to use it. However if they decline, they'll be asked to give a reason to Google i.e. “My channel name is well-known”.
While the change wasn't publicly announced, YouTube had mentioned in the past that it was planning some changes to its commenting system and this might be it.
