Mark S Zuckerberg has said he has received death threats for sharing a name with the Meta chief executive
A lawyer called Mark Zuckerberg is suing Facebook after the social network repeatedly took down his page, claiming he was impersonating the company’s boss.
Mark Stephen Zuckerberg, a bankruptcy lawyer in the US state of Indiana, says he has spent thousands of dollars promoting his services on Facebook but his page has been repeatedly blocked by the site.
Mr Zuckerberg says his life has been turned upside down by sharing a name with the world’s third-richest man, including receiving death threats and incessant tech support phone calls.
“It’s not funny,” he told local news channel WTHR. “Not when they take my money.”
He said he had had the name Mark Zuckerberg “way longer than he has” and was suing after years of having his account unfairly removed.
He said he had spent more than $11,000 (£8,000) on Facebook adverts to promote his law practice, but that both his business and personal pages had been repeatedly removed for “impersonating a celebrity”.
Mr Zuckerberg said it often takes months to restore his account, leading to lost business, and that the company had broken “fair dealing” laws.
“I’d rather not pick a fight with them, but I don’t know how to make them stop,” he said. “I don’t know how else to get their attention.”
