An Indiana lawyer named Mark S. Zuckerberg—yes, the poor sap with the same name as Facebook’s overlord—finally snapped and decided to drag Meta into court.
The Meta Mega F-Up
Indianapolis bankruptcy lawyer Mark S. Zuckerberg—yes, that name—sues Meta for repeatedly suspending his Facebook pages for “impersonating” their billionaire founder. The name game’s cost? Thousands in ad spend, lost clients, and a lawsuit on negligence and breach of contract. Meta reinstated his account but the war for digital identity is far from over.
For years, Meta’s slapdash algorithms have been booting him off the platform, accusing him of impersonating a billionaire. His business page got canned five times, personal one four, while he was dropping $11,000 on ads he never got to benefit from.
He lost clients, flopped into “Facebook jail,” and endured months of appeals every time—uploading ID, credit cards, selfies from every angle—all to prove he’s the real Mark S. Zuckerberg. He even faced a lawsuit from Washington State by mistake and daily harassment from strangers convinced he’s the tech mogul.
Now he’s suing for negligence and breach of contract, demanding damages, legal fees, injunctions—and a public apology from Meta’s CEO, probably a fantasy.
Meta, in its infinite irony, says they reinstated his account after “error” and promise to fix the mess. Believe that if you want. After all, nothing says “This is fine” like suing the company behind your suspension.
