Jezebel Covers Controversy Over Wikipedia, IMDb Publishing Performers' Legal Names

CYBERSPACE — Mainstream news site Jezebel published today an article which brings attention to Wikipedia, IMDB and others publishing performers' legal names online.

According to Jezebel, last week an unidentified porn performer “had Child Protective Services show up unannounced at her front door after an anonymous caller falsely claimed she was throwing ‘swinger parties’ in front of her children.”

“The performer can’t know for sure who made the call,” the report continues, “or why, but she guesses that it was someone who, as she put it, ‘disagreed with my line of work.’ Similarly, she can’t know for sure where they got her legal name, allowing them to make the report, but she has a strong guess: Wikipedia.”

This woman, the article says, is just one of dozens of porn performers” who have had their legal names published on Wikipedia and IMDb.
