Petition Change the petitions rules to allow hiding of the petition opener's name.

I believe the rules for signing petitions strike a good balance in not requiring signers to make their name public even if real information must be submitted.
This should be extended (as an option) to people opening petitions as well.

More details

Not everyone is comfortable going public on a potentially controversial topic, and there's really no need to require it. The downside is a likely strong chilling effect on what petitions are opened -- likely much stronger than the requirement of submitting real details.
I was in fact planning to open another petition, one where I wouldn't mind the government etc. knowing who I am. The broader public is another matter though, so I've changed my mind.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.
