Phuc Dat Bich Is Beyond Tired of Getting Kicked Off Facebook
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2015/11/phuc-dat-bich-kicked-off-facebook.htmlPhuc Dat Bich is a 23-year-old Vietnamese-Australian who works for a bank. In a widely shared Facebook post he said that he finds it “highly irritating” that his profile has been shut down multiple times after being flagged by the site’s moderation systems.
Apparently his name is unremarkable in Vietnam, yet ostensibly global-minded Facebook is still is giving trouble. So he posted his passport for proof. And please, if you meet him, it's pronounced “Foo Da Bic.”

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
