Indiana Attorney Named Mark Zuckerberg Sues Meta Over Repeated Facebook Suspensions

Meta calls the repeated suspensions a mistake.

Overview

  • The lawsuit filed in Marion Superior Court alleges negligence and breach of contract after Facebook repeatedly flagged the attorney as an impersonator.
  • Mark Steven Zuckerberg says he is not copying Meta CEO Mark Elliot Zuckerberg and that he repeatedly provided photo ID, credit cards, and images to verify his identity.
  • He seeks damages for roughly $11,000 in advertising he says was removed during the suspensions, along with reimbursement of legal fees.
  • His accounts were shut down again in May; Meta says the account was restored and that it is taking steps to prevent a recurrence.
  • The dispute comes as Meta faces broader scrutiny of its enforcement practices, including a reported $25 million settlement earlier this year with President Donald Trump over account suspensions.
