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

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.
