Claims that Vietnamese man with an Australian passport in the name 'Phuc Dat Bich' had been discriminated against by Facebook were false

A man who claimed that Facebook discriminated against him because of his name, attracting global media attention, has announced that it was a hoax.

In January, a man posted to Facebook a screenshot of an Australian passport that appeared to show his full legal name was Phuc Dat Bich, claiming that he had been accused of "using a false and misleading name" and had his account shut down multiple times.
