There's an appeals process, and she's linked to her website and Facebook profile and submitted a photocopy of her passport to prove her name. Does anybody here know how long this is likely to take, or the chances of it being successful?

Chinese censorship is another issue, of course. But there's no need to post blatant lies about stuff you seemingly have no experience about.
WIFI access at Beijing airport did require a passport, though.
I suppose you mean passport?

It was before, when Google had a very strict "real name" policy they were actively and aggressively policing. The actual name review process probably hasn't changed much since then though.
That's not going to happen. The day they cancel my account is the day they can say goodby to all that lovely data they have on me since I'm not making another one.
You might expect a driver's license, but keep in mind that some people may prefer to provide:
- state ID card - state-issued driver's license - US passport
Only one of those is proof that you're allowed to _drive_, but I'm pretty sure you can use any of those to prove identity.
Asking for any legal 'proof of identity' is totally batshit crazy, period. I'm reasonably sure the GP wanted to express this in a nicer fashion than I do, while you discussed which documents are best to hand over..
