PlayStation, Facebook block users due to offensive first names

Jihad Al Mofadda was locked out of his PlayStation Network account ‘iJihaD’ on June 7th. Sony initially offered him the chance to change his account name, but then banned it indefinitely. Isis Thomas, 27, of Bristol, was also banned from her Facebook account as a result of her first name being deemed ‘offensive’ or ‘inappropriate’ Isis Thomas was recently denied access to her account because of the social networking sites ongoing efforts to remove profiles owned and operated by members of the Islamic State.”]
