Indiana Lawyer Mark Zuckerberg Sues Meta Over Repeated Account Suspensions

An Indiana bankruptcy attorney named Mark Zuckerberg is suing Meta Platforms after Facebook repeatedly disabled his personal and business accounts, accusing him of impersonating the social media founder who shares his name. Despite submitting extensive proof of identity, including his driver's license, credit cards, and facial photos, Zuckerberg's accounts have been suspended at least five times over the past eight years, leading to significant financial losses of over $11,000 in advertising fees. The attorney has filed a lawsuit in Marion Superior Court alleging negligence, breach of contract, breach of implied good faith, and promissory estoppel, and is seeking injunctive relief to prevent further account suspensions. Zuckerberg emphasized that his law firm relies heavily on Facebook for client outreach and expressed frustration over the platform's repeated failure to recognize his legitimate identity despite his verified status. Meta has not issued a public comment on the lawsuit. This case highlights ongoing challenges faced by individuals with names identical to high-profile figures on social media platforms.
