Facebook hates Gays
Chief Running Bear is not fast enough for Facebook
That’s right, Facebook has a list of names that it has set up in its database that it believes are fake. If you’re not John Smith or Janey Whitington, then you have better have a great alias to cover your “alternative” moniker. Otherwise, you’ll be booted faster than Britney at a Mensa meeting.
What’s especially entertaining about this situation is that if you are Tyson Gay, you actually have to type in a pseudonym to avoid being locked out. Yes that’s right, the software to prevent the use of fake names is actually creating the need to concoct fake names. Brilliant!
Even people with normal names are feeling the burn. Lindsay Lohan had her account deactivated because the Facebook tech nerds thought she was an impostor. No, they didn’t email her or otherwise attempt to verify her identity, they just went ahead and closed the account without warning. How cool is that?
So let this be a lesson to you super hip parents who feel the need to separate your kids and family from the pack with your clever naming ideas. When little Stargazer Lilly Smith gets old enough to have an account here, she’ll be sure to thank you with some classic teenage brooding once Facebook tells her that her name’s no good here. And you thought kids could be cruel.
