A girl in New Mexico with the same name tried to sign in to her Facebook account on Wednesday and was denied with the following message: "Disabled - Inauthentic Account." She believes Facebook thinks she is breaking the rule "Impersonating anyone or anything is not allowed."

It's not clear how long Gomez was using her account before she was denied access. This is not the first time Facebook has run into such problems.

I wonder if anybody at FB has put enough thoughts into the problem of different people having the same name, or if they honestly expect that everybody on earth has a unique name.
