Mark S Zuckerberg, a bankruptcy attorney said this has happened five times over the past eight years, costing him thousands of dollars in lost business. He pointed out that he has practised law for 38 years, a career that began when Mark E Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, was still a toddler.
The lawsuit, filed at the Marion Superior Court in Indianapolis in Indiana, USA on September 02, 2025 accuses Facebook parent company, Meta of breaching their contract because he paid $11,000 for advertising that was improperly taken down.
"It's like buying a billboard on the side of the highway, paying the people for the billboard and then they come and put a giant blanket over it and you don't get the benefit of what you paid for", he told WTHR. "It's not funny. Not when they take my money", he added.
Emails with Facebook that S Zuckerberg shared with local media indicate the company had accused him of not using his "authentic name". He explained that he has submitted his photo ID, his credit cards, and multiple images of his face in order to prove his identity.
"I'm Mark Steven [Zuckerberg]. And he's Mark Elliot [Zuckerberg]", he made it clear to WTHR.
His account was shut down in May, and only restored after his lawsuit was filed.
In a statement, the company said they had "reinstated Mark Zuckerberg's account, after finding it had been disabled in error".
