The world’s largest social network, Facebook, on Thursday launched a new application for mobile phones that allows you to create online conversations on topics chosen by the user, and in which they can participate anonymously using a pseudonym.

Change different pseudonym for each ‘room’. Talk to others about what you like Rooms, has been named as the new application is a tailored for the mobile Internet chats classic version, and it works completely independently to the Facebook application, so it is not necessary that you link both accounts.

“Creates a ‘room’ (in English,” room “) to what you like. Personalize. Visit different pseudonym for each ‘room’. Talk to others about what you like, “says a simple list of instructions on the web portal that Facebook created to promote their new product.

In the different chats or ‘rooms’, users can discuss the issue before them, and Sharing pictures and videos.

Some of the topics for Facebook chats that are proposed in its promotion ‘ramen hunters’ (the traditional Japanese noodle soup), ‘creators’ or ‘kendama’ (one also Japanese traditional game popular among young employees of companies Silicon Valley).

“Now you can connect with people from anywhere in the world who like something as much as you like it,” he said in a statement on the product team leader Facebook Josh Miller, for whom this was still not possible in mobile applications.

The identity politics of Facebook since its inception has always been trying to get all users in the network are identified by their real names and according to them, so do the social network a more transparent place in which no one can take refuge in anonymity, a philosophy that breaks the possibility of anonymity in Rooms.

On 1 October, Facebook has publicly apologized to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community (LGBT) identity politics by applying the social network that requires users to identified by their real names, which had raised several complaints of this community.

The controversy that led Facebook to apologize in public since mid-September, when several drag queens , many of them from the San Francisco (California, USA), the media reported that Facebook had them blocked accounts for not using their real names on the social network.
