Bankruptcy Lawyer Mark Zuckerberg sues Meta, Claims Repeated Account Suspensions Cost Him Clients & Funds
Indianapolis, IN – A bankruptcy lawyer named Mark Zuckerberg is suing Meta, FacebookS parent company, alleging repeated adn wrongful suspension of his verified account due to mistaken identity. The lawyer, who shares a name with Meta’s CEO, claims the platform consistently flags him for “impersonating a celebrity,” despite using his legal name.
For over 15 years, Zuckerberg has battled with Facebook (now Meta) over the issue, repeatedly having his accounts suspended and reinstated. He states the ongoing problem has resulted in lost clients and important financial losses. “It’s not funny,” Zuckerberg told Indianapolis-based 13WTHR. “Not when they take my money. This really pissed me off.” He further emphasized, “And using a false name! which I’ve had way longer then he has.”
The lawsuit, recently filed, stems from a may incident where Zuckerberg’s firm’s business page was removed, resulting in a loss of $11,000 in advertising revenue. While Meta has previously issued apologies via email for past suspensions, the issue persists. Zuckerberg explained he diligently follows the platform’s appeal process, but often receives no response for extended periods – sometimes exceeding six months for account reinstatement.
“I did everything they asked me to do, like I always do,” Zuckerberg said. “I filed the proper appeals…and I’ve heard nothing from them and it’s been four months.” He expressed frustration with Meta’s technological capabilities,questioning,”For somebody who purports to be one of the leading tech companies in the world,and they can’t stop doing this? And they can’t seem to get their appeal process to work? I think they have a problem.”
The lawsuit demands Meta permanently restore his account and seeks reimbursement for lost advertising funds and attorney fees. Zuckerberg believes he has a strong case, despite Meta’s vast resources. He stated he initially avoided legal action, preferring to resolve the issue directly with the company, but felt compelled to sue after repeated failures to achieve a lasting solution.
