"The lawyer's complaint filed on Tuesday reads like the setup to a late-night comedy sketch: Every time he tried to run ads for his law practice, Meta's systems flagged him as a faker. He said he had to upload his driver's license, credit card, and a front-and-side video of his face to prove he's really Mark S. Zuckerberg, not the Mark E. Zuckerbergwho runs the $1.88 trillion company."
"Despite that, Meta kept shutting his accounts down for the last 14 years, he said. Sometimes, the bans lasted for months, even while Meta continued taking his ad money, the lawsuit said. Zuckerberg, the attorney, is asking for damages and a court order barring Meta from treating him as an imposter. "It's not funny," he told Indianapolis outlet 13WTHR. "Not when they take my money. This really pissed me off.""
An Indianapolis attorney named Mark S. Zuckerberg filed a lawsuit against Meta after repeated Facebook account suspensions for allegedly impersonating the company's CEO because they share a name. Meta's systems flagged his law-practice ads and repeatedly required identity documents, including a driver's license, credit card, and facial videos, yet continued to suspend accounts over 14 years and sometimes took ad payments during bans. He seeks damages and a court order to stop being treated as an imposter. He has documented persistent real-world confusion, including prank-call hang-ups, reservation refusals, and limo-driver mix-ups, and created iammarkzuckerberg.com to chronicle the disruptions.
