Mark Zuckerberg may be fined $26000 by the German government for notallowing users to keep their identities anonymous on Facebook. It is the
latest of many privacy-related issues the social media site has

to social news website VentureBeat via email, saying ‘it is the role of
individual services to determine their own policies about anonymity
within the governing law.’
