If you’ve been using a pseudonym on Facebook for the past few years, you’ve undoubtedly received an irritating notification in recent weeks asking you for identification to verify your real name. For an Vietnamese-Australian man named, Phuc Dat Bich this process has been especially frustrating, and has ended with his profile being shut down, not once. Not Twice. Three times.
The 23-year-old banker, who’s name is actually pronounced “Phoo Da Bic” has posted his passport and issued a message to Facebook to express his disdain:

The post has since went viral, receiving 135,514 likes, 10,180 comments and 73,583 shares and counting, with many people leaving words of encouragement and support.
As of now Bich’s profile appears to still be active, and chances are it will remain that way with the media attention this debacle has amassed.
Way to go Bich.
