"Mark Zuckerberg is annoyed with Facebook? Yes, that's what I said. But isn't Mark Zuckerberg the boss of Facebook? No, Mark Zuckerberg is a well-regarded bankruptcy lawyer from Indianapolis. Oh no, have we fallen into a parallel universe again? Do try to keep up. There can be more than one person with the same name in the world. Got it."
"But why? Why do you think? Imagine having a Facebook account, and also having the name Mark Zuckerberg. You'd spend your whole life being flooded with messages and requests and abuse. That makes sense. Also, Indianapolis Zuckerberg spent thousands of dollars on Facebook to advertise his legal firm, but Meta kept deactivating his account after assuming he was impersonating a celebrity. So now he's suing Meta."
Mark Zuckerberg from Indianapolis is a bankruptcy lawyer who faces persistent problems because he shares a name with Facebook's founder. He receives floods of messages, requests and abuse and has spent thousands of dollars on Facebook advertising only to have Meta repeatedly deactivate his account for suspected impersonation. He has responded by suing Meta. Other name-owners face similar harassment, including a Virginian man named John Lewis who must explain he is not a UK department store and the late children's author Jeremy Strong who was confused with an actor. Businesses and even governments have misidentified him, causing legal and commercial harm.
