FACEBOOK THREATENS TO DELETE ACCOUNTS OF ORTHODOX CLERGY

According to an Orthodox Christian monk, Facebook is threatening to delete the accounts of Orthodox clergy who refuse to change their profile names to their birth names on the social network.

Although they are known by their clergical names, Facebook has recently begun demanding religious figures on the network i.e., those known as Priest, Abbot, Monk, Nun, Abbess, Brother, etc. to use their legal names on their Facebook profile.

“It is time to tell Facebook their policy has gone too far,” says Abbot Tryphon, a monk at the ‘All-Merciful Saviour Monastery’ in Vashon Island who after being affected by the policy decided to start a change.org petition. The petition has gathered closed to 5.000 signatures in only two days.

“It may be difficult to believe, but Facebook has become an essential tool in fulfilling my ministry,” says the orthodox monk.
