Indiana Lawyer Named Mark Zuckerberg Sues Meta Over Repeated Facebook Takedowns

After Meta restored the account as a mistaken takedown, the Indiana attorney is pressing a court case for repayment plus safeguards.

Overview

  • Mark S. Zuckerberg, a bankruptcy lawyer in Indiana, filed a Marion Superior Court lawsuit against Meta and CEO Mark Zuckerberg alleging negligence and breach of contract.
  • He says his personal and business Facebook accounts were wrongly disabled five times over eight years, with the latest suspension in May 2025 lifted only after the suit was filed.
  • Meta acknowledged the account was disabled in error, reinstated access, and said it is working to prevent similar mistakes.
  • The lawyer reports roughly $11,000 (about £8,200) in paid advertising was rendered useless when his law practice’s page was taken down.
  • He says he repeatedly submitted photo ID, credit cards, and photos to verify his identity, has received misdirected calls and threats intended for the billionaire, and created iammarkzuckerberg.com to document the mix-ups.
