According to a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation on the 5th, American lawyer Mark Zuckerberg from Indiana has been unjustly banned from his social media accounts multiple times because he shares the same name as the founder of Facebook. He is suing Facebook and seeking compensation. According to Mark's personal website, his full name is Mark Steven Zuckerberg, and he is a lawyer specializing in bankruptcy litigation in Indiana, USA. In order to expand his business, Mark registered a real-name personal account on Facebook and paid $11,000 for promotion. However, his account has been banned five times in the past 8 years, not only delaying his contact with clients but also not receiving a refund of the promotion fee. Mark stated that the reason for the platform banning his account is that they mistakenly thought he was impersonating Facebook founder Zuckerberg. However, Mark stated that he has been practicing under the name "Mark Zuckerberg" for 38 years and submitted multiple identity proofs when his account was first banned and was unblocked. However, Facebook continued to mistakenly ban his account, so he sued Facebook in May of this year and sought compensation for the promotion fee he paid. According to documents shown by Mark, in addition to his account being frequently banned, he is often mistaken for Facebook founder Zuckerberg by netizens or various organizations and was mistakenly sued by the Washington State government in 2020. In a statement, Facebook stated that they will closely monitor the situation to prevent such incidents from happening again, and they thanked Mark for his patience.
