Salman Rushdie calls Facebook 'morons'
Salman Rushdie went on a tweeting rant against Facebook because the site deactivated his page.
“Amazing. 2 days ago FB deactivated my page saying they didn’t believe I was me. I had to send a photo of my passport page. THEN... they said yes, I was me, but insisted I use the name Ahmed which appears before Salman on my passport and which I have never used. NOW... They have reactivated my FB page as “Ahmed Rushdie,” inspite of the world knowing me as Salman.

Morons. @markZukerbergF? Are you listening?” he wrote.
He added, “Maybe @markZukerbergF is a phony. Is the real #Zukerberg on Twitter? Where are you hiding, Mark? Come out here and give me back my name!”
Obviously, the situation was handled fast, for after a few more acerbic comments, he finally tweeted, “Victory! #Facebook has buckled! I’m Salman Rushdie again.”
