I think you're talking about Blizzard, which wanted to link World of Warcraft accounts with Facebook. And yeah, a lot of the narratives that came out of that from women, POC and queer players make it OBVIOUS why people should have the option not to present that information on the internet. I wonder who at Google is even aware of that conversation.

Yes! Blizzard! I kept thinking it was vaguely WoW-related, but my brain kept giving me Wizards of the Coast, which I was pretty sure weren't involved. Thank you! :D

I dunno if anyone is (not even really sure how big the company is), but someone ought to forward them the relevant links! Or at least a decent memo with a summary thereof. Many of those narratives were quite impactful, I thought; especially the sheer number of them (and the number, on the side of "where's the problem?", who were Middle Class White Males).
