This is an ignorant statement.

Did you even read what he's suing for?

"I just think it's bad business practice. It's a crappy way to treat people. At least tell me what I did wrong," Mr. Crawford told FOX 5 Atlanta.

Frustrated with the no-response, Mr. Crawford, who is a lawyer himself, decided to sue Facebook, alleging negligence on the part of the company in his August 2022 complaint. Despite the lawsuit, he experienced continued silence from Facebook.

However, when Facebook's legal team failed to respond to the lawsuit, a judge ordered Meta to pay him $50,000.

That's when he heard from the company, following which his account was restored. However, his fight is still not over as Facebook is apparently not cooperating with the judge and has not paid out a single dollar.

A US lawyer with the same name as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is suing the social media platform, arguing it keeps suspending his account while falsely accusing him of "impersonating a celebrity".

Mark S Zuckerberg says his account has been disabled five times over the past eight years, and it has cost him thousands of dollars in lost business.

The Indiana bankruptcy attorney's lawsuit states that he has been practising law for 38 years - ever since Mark E Zuckerberg, now one of the richest men in the world, was a toddler.

Meta said it had reinstated the lawyer's account and was taking steps to prevent the mistake recurring.

"It's not funny," Mr Zuckerberg told WTHR-TV in Indianapolis, Indiana. "Not when they take my money."

The lawsuit, filed in Marion Superior Court, argues that Facebook parent company Meta is in breach of contract because he paid $11,000 (£8,200) 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.

Emails with Facebook that Mr Zuckerberg shared with local media indicate the company had accused him of not using his "authentic name".

He said 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. And he's Mark Elliot," Mr Zuckerberg told WTHR.

His account was shut down in May, and only restored after his lawsuit was filed.

In a statement, the company said it had "reinstated Mark Zuckerberg's account, after finding it had been disabled in error".

"We appreciate Mr Zuckerberg's continued patience on this issue and are working to try and prevent this from happening in the future."

Mr Zuckerberg, who specialises in bankruptcy law, started a website to track mix-ups over his name, including the time he was inadvertently sued by the state of Washington for abuse.

You're the ignorant one.

Just exit Nairaland now and see terms if service.

You can't sue and win them. For whatever, you can't win

This is a similar case of Facebook banning someone and the person his a lawyer.

Since 2022, Facebook didn't pay the lawyer a dime

When Jason Crawford finally collected his default judgment from suing Facebook, he couldn’t wait to post it on Facebook. “It was one of the first things I did, once I collected,” said the Columbus personal injury lawyer who sued the media giant for deleting his account. “Facebook never offered a single penny, even though I had a $50,000 judgment against them,” he posted Tuesday, the day he got the check. “They simply went back to ignoring me.”

So, Meta is refusing to obey a judges ruling, since what you posted contradicts your assertion that he can not win.

Regardless, you perhaps should have done a little more research.

The litigant can go back to court to compel Facebook to pay, right?

budaatum:
And I think he did, since he did eventually get paid.

maasoap:
So some respect, that man said he had been using that name to practice law since when Mr Jew was a toddler. Or, you think it is only Facebook man bearing the name

davodyguy:
He's going to lose bitterly.

Those Terms if Services that social media platforms owners keep updating and making us to agree with means they'll get away with many things, since you didn't pay for subscription

OriOko88:

GrammarNazi1:
Let's see what the real Mark has to say or, perhaps, what Meta has to say.

SanLorrenzo:
Oyaaaa, let's see where this would take the parties involved

Angelfrost:
Okay... Fake Zuckerberg wants to sue the Real Zuckerberg.


Just imagine how he gets laughed at in certain quarters whenever he introduces himself using both first and last names.

Keith05cool:
