I'm kind of OOTL. What's wrong with GlassDoor?

The purpose of the site is for employees to rate their employers anonymously, to alert fellow workers to poor conditions. For the site to reveal names means employers can now use glassdoor to know which employees say bad things about them, and can retaliate. It's a major dick move.

Did you read the article? That isn’t what’s happening. I can understand your confusion because of the provocative and misleading article title, but they’re adding names to your private profile.

This is correct.

However, having that information tied to your account at all is a little problematic, as you can only leak the data you have. No name? Can't leak it.
