Lawyer named Mark Zuckerberg sues Meta after repeated account shutdowns over claims he’s impersonating billionaire founder: ‘It’s offensive’

Mark-ing his territory in the most Meta way possible.

An Indiana lawyer who shares the name Mark Zuckerberg is suing Meta after the social media platform repeatedly shut down his personal and business profiles, claiming he was impersonating its founder.

Zuckerberg, an Indianapolis bankruptcy lawyer, has battled mistaken identity issues on Facebook for 15 years, sharing a name with the platform’s billionaire creator.

His verified personal account has been shut down five times, and after losing $11,000 in ad funds to Meta when his law firm’s page was taken down in May for the fourth time, he’s taking his fight to court.

“Normally you would say, well, it’s just Facebook and it’s not a big deal, but this time it’s affecting my bottom line because I was paying for advertising for my business to try and get clients,” the aggrieved attorney told The Post Wednesday afternoon.

“So they took my money, but then after they took my money, they shut me down for what they say is impersonating a celebrity, not using a true name and violating their community standards. And it’s the same message I get every time they shut me down.”

Zuckerberg filed his lawsuit Tuesday in Marion Superior Court, accusing Facebook’s parent company of negligence and breach of contract for suspending his accounts for baseless and improper reasons.

He said his Facebook page was first deactivated in 2010, and every time since, he’s had to endure a painfully long appeals process — including submitting photos of himself, his license and his credit cards — to prove he’s a real person who hasn’t violated the platform’s policies and get his accounts restored.

Wouldn’t have been easier if Meta simply asked for his middle initial?

By the way, the other Mark Zuckerberg did not invent Facebook. It started out as a DARPA project called Lifelog.

Zuckerberg was merely installed, by the cabal, to look like he did something great. Like so many others.

This is additional proof that the various "bot scraping" algorithms, the multiple faulty LLMs and the rest of the AI stuff is well in error. Not intelligent. Error prone.

But all being presented as real, to get people to enroll in subscriptions and pay, and pay and pay some more.

Your posting is things I have read before about all this high tech. Makes you wonder about all of them like Google, etc? Interesting plan for the intelligence agencies of the world…..

Somewhere they must be laughing their asses off, “spying of the citizens? Hell they are just providing all that information without even asking…..”.

You’re right. People forget that Zuckerberg claimed he wrote the code over a weekend while he was at Harvard.

He should simply add his middle name. That would set him apart from the “real“ Zuckerberg.
