Meta Platforms is facing a lawsuit from Mark Zuckerberg, a bankruptcy lawyer in Indiana, according to Benzinga. The lawyer claims the company repeatedly disabled his Facebook account on the grounds of impersonation. The lawyer uses the account for commercial purposes but says it has been disabled five times since 2017, despite him being Mark Zuckerberg himself. He alleges the platform flagged him as impersonating Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and that he has paid over $11,000 in ads even while the account was disabled. The complaint includes a 2020 email exchange and details of calls and messages intended for the CEO, including requests for money and death threats. Mark Zuckerberg, the lawyer, voiced frustration over Meta taking his money while disabling his account, saying, "It's not funny."
