Controversial Tweets That Made Headlines

Salman Rushdie (November 2011)
India-born internationally acclaimed author Salman Rushdie took on Facebook when he was asked not to use his middle name Salman, which he is recognized as. He took his online identity crisis through a series of tweets.
"Dear #Facebook, forcing me to change my FB name from Salman to Ahmed Rushdie is like forcing J. Edgar to become John Hoover" and "Or, if F. Scott Fitzgerald was on #Facebook, would they force him to be Francis Fitzgerald? What about F. Murray Abraham?"
The impact of his tweets was such that Facebook buckled under the pressure and allowed him to call himself by the name he is known as.

“Victory! #Facebook has buckled! I'm Salman Rushdie again. I feel SO much better. An identity crisis at my age is no fun. Thank you Twitter!” he later tweeted.
