Signing up for an account on Glassdoor required workers to reveal their
full name, job title and employer — a departure from its previous practice of just requiring email addresses but no names, according to Wired.
Glassdoor, the website that allows workers to anonymously complain
about their workplaces without fear of retribution, is reportedly
revealing staffers’ real names in their profiles — prompting a viral
backlash over fears that their identities could be exposed.
The shift began last July when the site added social features
integrated from Fishbowl, an app for work-related discussions that Glassdoor’s parent company, Recruit, acquired in 2021.

Why I use fake names, date of birth, anonymized e-mail addresses ... (I've never posted on Glassdoor, however).

Seems like this opens them up to an enormous lawsuit for lost wages,
health insurance, from up to hundreds of people.

If Glassdoor is asking for a full name and employer name during
registration (for NEW accounts), why would there be a lawsuit if it's >revealed? How could it be "without permission" if the registrant gave
them the info?

Seriously? If the webpage said, "This info is only for our own records
and will not be revealed"*, then when the webpage says that and the user >signs up, a unilateral contract is created and the owners and staff of
the webpage have to live by what they said on the webpage.
**Often it will include, "except in response to a valid subpoena".

Same here. Once you hand-over your personal information, you lose control of it, and you *never* get it back. Privacy policies aren't worth the paper they're (not) written on.
