  • There are downsides to sharing a name with one of the world’s most well-known people. Mark S. Zuckerberg, an Indiana bankruptcy lawyer, is suing Meta, claiming the tech company disabled his commercial Facebook account for “impersonating a celebrity,” ostensibly Meta founder and CEO Mark E. Zuckerberg. Meanwhile, the company allegedly kept the $11,000 Zuckerberg spent advertising his law firm on the platform. Zuckerberg told Fortune his defunct account put his law practice at a competitive disadvantage.

It’s Mark Zuckerberg v. Mark Zuckerberg. An Indiana bankruptcy lawyer who shares a name with the Meta cofounder and CEO is going after the social media giant for allegedly disabling Facebook accounts because he was “impersonating” the tech billionaire of the same name.
