Mark Zuckerberg sues Meta for flagging him as ‘impersonating a celebrity’: ‘This really pissed me’

An Indian lawyer who shares the same name as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has filed a lawsuit against Facebook for repeatedly suspending his account, mistaking him for the company’s chief executive. Mark Zuckerberg, a bankruptcy lawyer, claimed that his verified account has been shut down for more than 15 years, costing him clients and ad funds. He says Meta wrongly flags him for “impersonating a celebrity,” despite using his real identity.

“It’s not funny,” he said. “Not when they take my money. This really pissed me off,” Zuckerberg told Indianapolis-based 13WTHR.
