Indiana Lawyer Named Mark Zuckerberg Sues Meta Over Repeated Facebook Bans

Meta says the suspensions were errors.

Overview

  • The Indianapolis bankruptcy attorney alleges years of mistaken enforcement that repeatedly blocked his access to Facebook.
  • He says his business account was suspended five times over eight years and his personal profile was deleted four times.
  • According to his complaint, he spent more than $11,000 on Meta ads that were disrupted, and he reports persistent misdirected messages, packages, and even threats linked to name confusion.
  • Facebook had flagged him over its authentic-name policy despite IDs showing he is Mark Steven Zuckerberg, distinct from Meta CEO Mark Elliot Zuckerberg.
  • The case in Marion Superior Court remains active, and one report says Meta has sought dismissal of some claims after restoring his account and calling the deactivations mistakes.
