I'm sure many of you are already aware of this, but just in case you aren't, please sign the petition linked to in the above article.
Already, many Orthodox priests and monks (the few who use facebook) have had their accounts changed to their birth name and the title "Father" removed. Apparently it is fine to be "Rabbi", or "Imam on Facebook but "Father" is no longer permitted. It is also noteworthy that Facebook recently apologised to transgenders for reverting their accounts to their birth names, and now permits them to self identify as a different gender name.
