Tennessee woman named 'Isis' at birth permanently banned from Facebook, Instagram [View all]

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.

“I’ve had these accounts since middle school,” she said.

This week, Meta, the company that owns Facebook and Instagram, permanently banned and deleted Crawford’s 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 Crawford’s profile is dangerous and could encourage terrorist attacks, support violence, or criminal activity
