Didn't Google+ do that?

It's been so long since that debacle I honestly don't remember.

YouTube did it when Google bought them and changed everyone’s unique username to their Google account (real) name

Looks like they prodded but didn’t unilaterally force.

Facebook did it as well, maybe a couple years after opening up to the non university crowd. Neither FB at the time or G+ years later gave any thought that their no pseudonym policies put someone's safety at risk.

Google+ was a Facebook-like social media. It was only ever supposed to be real names, so no issue.
