An Indianapolis lawyer named Mark S. Zuckerberg is suing Meta for account suspensions.
He claims the suspensions have cost him over $11,000 in advertising and lost clients.
Meta mistakenly flagged him for impersonating the company's CEO, Mark E. Zuckerberg.
The lawyer's account has been disabled multiple times over the last 14 years.
He is seeking damages and changes to Meta's treatment of his account.

An Indiana lawyer, Mark S. Zuckerberg, has filed a lawsuit against Meta, the parent company of Facebook, claiming that he has been wrongly suspended from the social media platform multiple times for impersonating the company's CEO, Mark E. Zuckerberg. The attorney asserts that Meta's moderation systems continuously mistook him for the tech billionaire due to their shared name, causing significant disruption to his law practice and costing him over $11,000 in lost advertising revenues, according to BBC and Business Insider.

Zuckerberg, who has been practicing law for 38 years, argues that the automated systems have erroneously flagged his accounts as fake due to name confusion. He states that Meta has disabled both his personal and professional accounts multiple times over a span of 14 years, affecting his business operations and leading to significant monetary losses each time, as detailed by India Times and India Times.
