when using 'fake' indigenous given names

Facebook locked out Native Americans from using the social network after deeming their names to be fake. Users from indigenous tribes have received messages asking them to change their legal names to ones that do not “violate [the company’s] standards”.

A woman called Lone Hill, whose first name is Dana, had sent three forms of identification to Facebook so the company could “investigate” whether she was a real person, according to a report by Colorline.

Facebook’s “real name” policy states: “We require people to provide the name they use in real life; that way, you always know who you're connecting with.”

I am kicked off fb just in case anyone is wondering. Get ahold of me here on via email. @WildOglala

But Lone Hill, of the Lakota tribe, is not the only Native American who has been subjected to difficulties by Facebook after using given names.

Well it seems they haven't been doing a particularly good job at it. There are tons of fake name people on FB.
