People in the world have different kinds of names and some people find them very funny according to their languages. People having such funny and unusual names face a lot of problems every day. Nowadays, we are reading and watching news that Facebook is blocking the accounts having such different names as those names are not recommended.
Recently, a 23-year old guy faced the same problem with his name. His name is Phuc Dat Bitch. Yes, you read it correctly. Even Facebook authorities blocked the account. He got frustrated and expressed his fury on Facebook along with a picture of his passport as an identity proof. However, Facebook unblocked the account apologizing.
Facebook thinks I’m a terrorist. Apparently sending them a screenshot of my passport is not good enough for them to reopen my account.

Well, here comes another incident. This time, the victim is a girl. And her name is Isis Anchalee. Isis Anchalee is the female engineer who started the #ILookLikeAnEngineer campaign earlier this year after an advertisement featuring her sparked controversy online over what a female engineer “should look like.” Now, the 22-year-old says she’s been blocked from using Facebook because of her first name, Isis.

Usually, ISIS refers to “Islamic State of Iraq & Syria”. Facebook did the same for Anchalee. But not a number of people are aware of the fact that Isis is a famous Egyptian goddess too and there are many women of this name together with 396 infants born last year in the US. “Facebook thinks I’m a terrorist,” Anchalee explained in a tweet on Tuesday.
@isisAnchalee tell us how can we help you so Facebook will reopen your account?

“Apparently sending them a screenshot of my passport is not good enough for them to reopen my account.” However, Facebook later apologized as well as restored her page, giving the explanation of her account being flagged by a couple of users as fake.
