A US lawyer who shares the same name as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has filed a lawsuit against the company after Facebook repeatedly blocked his account, multiple media outlets have reported.

 

Attorney Mark S. Zuckerberg, who lives in Indiana and has practiced bankruptcy law for nearly 38 years, said Facebook suspended his account five times over the past eight years.

 

“They keep blocking me saying I’m using someone else’s name,” he said. “Each suspension not only disrupted my legal practice but also cost me thousands of dollars in business.”

 

Zuckerberg explained that he provided Facebook with everything to prove his identity, including photos, his credit card, and a photo ID. “I’ve had this name long before the Meta CEO became famous. Yet they still keep suspending my account,” he added.

 

The lawyer argued that the repeated suspensions have damaged his professional reputation and forced him to take legal action against Meta.
