A Clarksville woman said she is banned from her social media accounts because of the name she was given at birth.
In a world where social media can be its own universe, Isis Crawford said she feels stuck in a box.
Ive had these accounts since middle school, she said.
This week, Meta, the company that owns Facebook and Instagram, permanently banned and deleted Crawfords account she had for years.
She believes since her name is the same as ISIS, the Middle Eastern terrorist group, they suspended her accounts.
Meta said Crawfords profile is dangerous and could encourage terrorist attacks, support violence, or criminal activity

This is what happens when you use AI to do your dirty work.

(4,203 posts)I quit FB after Zuckerberg testified in front of congress and took zero responsibility for content and influence on kids, etc. I tried to join back up to use a specific bulletin board and advertise for a job, but the minute I did, my first sign in went to an automated message saying my account was suspended. For two weeks I tried to find a human being to talk to and found it impossible. Even talked to a former FB employee who gave me some contact info and even spoke to some people she knew,,,, nothing.
No human was likely involved in this decision about Isis, but shell never get reinstated because theres no way to get a human involved in the appeals process.

(27,612 posts)Id be interested in knowing how many other accounts exist within Zuckerbergs communities with names that could be construed as terroristic or hate-filled. Seems too much work is done by algorithms instead of by humans who can take instances like these on an individual basis. I wonder whether or not a human played any role in denial of her request for reinstatement. Move on, Isis. Facebook isnt worth your trouble.
