According to WTHR 13, Mark Zuckerberg is suing Mark Zuckerberg because Meta keeps deleting his Facebook page and ads.
Mark Zuckerberg is a bankruptcy lawyer from Indiana who happens to have the same name as the famous CEO of Meta, and the company keeps accusing Lawyer Zuckerberg of impersonating their commander and chief.
So Lawyer Zuckerberg is suing Meta for negligence and breach of contract because Facebook keeps, accusing him of "impersonating a celebrity" and throwing him in Facebook jail.
‘And using a false name! Which I've had way longer than he has,' Zuckerberg said.
Over the last eight years, his business account has been shut down five times, and his personal account has been shut down four times.
And all of those have taken 4-6 months to get resolved and turned back on.
And he'd probably keep on, keeping on, except he purchased thousands of dollars worth of ads for his law firm.
Meta accepted his money then deleted his ads because of the whole Mark Zuckerberg thing.
‘It's like buying a billboard on the side of the highway, paying the people for the billboard and then they come and put a giant blanket over it and you don't get the benefit of what you paid for,' he said. ‘It's not fair. it's not right and they need to stop.'
And he's pretty sure he can win, too.
‘I've got better things to do than sue Facebook. They have more money and more lawyers and more resources than I do. I'd rather not pick a fight with them…
‘I wouldn't have done it if I didn't think I could win,' he said.
While the lawsuit is certainly amusing (for those of us not named Mark Zuckerberg), the best part about this story is Lawyer Zuckerberg's website: iammarkzuckerberg.com where he collects all the mix-ups he's had thanks to his famous doppelgänger.
Here are few favorites:
I was sued by the state of Washington due to mistaken Identity. They thought I was the founder of FaceBook who was accused of endangering an adult in need of services
When a Facebook scam promised money from ‘Mark Zuckerberg,' I was inundated with calls and emails from strangers, receiving phone calls at all hours of the night.
I receive over 100+ friend requests daily from people confusing me with the ‘other' Mark Zuckerberg.
I receive phone calls at my office every day from angry people demanding tech support, or help with Facebook from resets to remove photos to locked accounts.
I can't use my name when making appointments or reservations because people assume it's a prank call and hang up.
I get Venmo payment requests and money solicitations from total strangers.
While speaking in Las Vegas, a limo driver was waiting for me at the bottom of the escalator with a sign reading ‘Mark Zuckerberg,' causing chaos as a large, disappointed crowd had been waiting.
On 23andme, I have over 753 ‘relatives,' many of whom immediately request money or ask for favors.
I routinely receive death threats and harassment on the app Messenger directed toward the other Mark Zuckerberg.
He's like the real life (but much more boring) version of this old ESPN commercial:
Despite all that, Lawyer Zuckerberg doesn't have hard feelings.
He's even offered to represent the other Mark Zuckerberg pro bono should Meta ever tank, and he find himself in need of a good bankruptcy lawyer.
