Will this is not cool. Isis Anchalee, a platform engineer In San Francisco, is claiming that Facebook has deleted her account, presumably because of her name being synonymous with the Islamic State.
Facebook thinks I'm a terrorist. Apparently sending them a screenshot of my passport is not good enough for them to reopen my account.

It’s nice to see Anchalee take a stand against such silliness:
